i was watching a episode on a tv show about medical disorders, they had explained something called fatal insomnia. It's a genetic disorder where the brain cannot achive sleep, through the sleep stage, and the sleep sector in the brain is deteriated. Even with powerful barbiturates that could put someone in a coma at the heavy dose, this man could not achieve sleep, he stayed in a limbo state of being awake and asleep, half awake even sedated with powerful barbiturates. It's a limbo state of sedated, but not asleep, he would awake during this powerful sedation in a stupor, then close his eyes again. What a terrible thing, usually death happens after couple months, 6 months, i don't know ill have research again. Everything becomes deteraited, cognition, speech, paralysis, then eventual death. Terrible thing to experience, only few people have it. Deteriation of sleep center in the brain i think is what they said, do a research project on it for intrest. Logging out

they used multiple sedatives, not only barbiturates, but anesthesia, benzos, almost every sleeping or sedative medication that would enforce sleep. None of them had effect, only sedating them but without sleep even at powerful doses. There is alot of info to read about it, this is the neurotransmission part of GABA receptors being ineffective in enforcing sleep
