No: Alright, so that might be a bit strong, but really the odds against this being the case are so great that it would be hard to give you a real life example of how unlikely that is. Sleep disturbance is very common, almost always treatable. You should go see your doctor.

Insomnia: Sounds that you may need a good evaluation in person by a board certified sleep doctor.
