Was actually reading about this the other day, this bit:

One of the most notable cases is that of Michael Corke, a music teacher from Chicago, Illinois. He suddenly began to have trouble sleeping not long after his 40th birthday in 1991, and his health and state of mind quickly deteriorated as his insomnia grew worse. Eventually, he couldn't sleep at all, and he was soon admitted to the hospital. Doctors there weren't sure what was wrong with him, initially diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis; in a bid to send him to sleep in the later stages of the disease, physicians induced a coma with the use of sedatives, but they found that his brain still failed to shut down. Corke died in 1992 a month before his 41st birthday, by which time he had gone without sleep for six months
