sleeplessness
Unable to rest
Sleeplessness is the state of being unable to sleep, whether for a single night or as a chronic condition.
It emphasizes the experience rather than the clinical diagnosis: The sleeplessness was getting to her.
Unlike insomnia, which sounds medical, sleeplessness fits naturally into ordinary speech about restless nights and exhausted days.
