Sleeplessness stems from an inability to separate oneself from waking. As humans, we have difficulties separating ourselves from what doesn't matter in this world. People commit suicide because they can't separate themselves from the helpless factors that are tearing them down. We keep our family members who are old and dying on life support that only prolongs their pain because it temporarily numbs our own, because we can't cope with the idea that soon the part of them that exists as a part of us will be gone.
