If they are unable to sleep and rest until they die from exhaustion, wouldn’t they just forcibly fall asleep through the power of general anesthesia?

There are few things to unpack

– Being sedated and or unconscious is very different from sleeping

– Fatal familial insomnia, while having insomnia in the name, it is just a symptom of your brain basically chopping itself up. Not the sleeplessnes that kills you
