You know what else causes insomnia? Anxiety. Which is very common.
If you hear hoof beats it’s far more likely to be a horse than a unicorn (the disorders you’re worrying about are too rare even to be classed as zebras).

Sporadic fatal insomnia is so rare it's possible to name all the people who have ever suffered from it!

It's about 10 in 7 billion, I think!

That's roughly the chance of being hit by lightning 10 times in one year.

10 recorded cases in the literature since 1997 that's correct.

Also to the OP, to be considering SFI after 3 nights of mild sleep disturbance is quite frankly ridiculous beyond all reason.

Better chance being hit by lightning 3X in your lifetime.
