Yes it can: Hydrocephalus causes a change in the pressure within the brain that has been postulated to be related to sleep disturbances. Most of the research has been done on infants but i suspect it also applies to adults. You might want to talk with your doctor about getting a sleep study to further define your sleep patterns. Good luck to a future of restful sleep!

Hydrocephalus: Rather than insomnia that opposite happens, you become more sleepy with a worsening headache, often associated with vomiting, of allowed to progress can led to coma - so insomnia is not a result normally of hydrocephalus.
