Fatal familial insomnia is a rare hereditary condition caused by a protein produced as a result of a genetic defect. This sickness stops a person from falling asleep, resulting in death as a result of sleep deprivation. It also has an impact on brain function, causing memory loss, a loss of motor function, and hallucinations.
