A member asked:
What are the odds of someone having/developing sporadic fatal insomnia right now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low: Sporadic fatal insomnia is very rare. In 30 years of medical practice I have not come across a single case. It may be related to a very rare illness called creutzfeld-jacob disease.
