I'm going to be a bit morbid here, but of all the diseases or mechanical ways to die, which would be your LAST CHOICE if given a preference. Dead last, so to speak.

There are a few prion diseases that are absolutely horrible. I believe one of them causes you to be unable to sleep until you go mad.

Fatal Familial Insomnia

Mothetfuu that is scary

Edit: or the non hereditary version transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, TSE).

Fucking hell why did I read up about that. Okay this easily wins this post. Fuck that shit.

Literally my worst waking nightmare. Every now and then I have insomnia and 100% of the time I think, "Fuck...this is the beginning of the end..."

I remember reading that it gets so bad that, even after doctors put you into a coma, you'll eventually resist that treatment and nothing at all will work.

@Thavron yeah I came in to say Fatal Familial Insomnia but then I saw how painful some of the other stuff in here is and changed my mind.

Me: Prions. I know what they are, I know what they do. Terrible. I shouldn't look up Fatal Familial Insomnia.

Also me: Yep. I should not have looked up Fatal Familial Insomnia.

You should listen to that book at bedtime. Surprisingly effective, and its not in the least boring
