== Overview ==
'''Insomnia''' is an [[Afflictions|Affliction]] added to the Part 1 Update of the [[Tales from the Far Territory]] addon, and is contracted from spending too much time in [[Glimmer Fog]] found within certain [[Region|Regions]] within the Far Territory Frontier. At present, it can only be contracted in the [[Forsaken Airfield]], [[Zone of Contamination]], and [[Sundered Pass]] Regions.

== Affliction ==
{{Quote|Your sleep is troubled and Rest is frequently interrupted.|In-game description}}
Failure to manage [[Insomnia Risk]] and thereby contracting Insomnia results in the player character having their rest frequently interrupted for 18-36 hours. This affliction is different from [[Cabin Fever]], as the player may still rest anywhere at any time, but with a chance that their sleep may be prematurely disturbed after only a short period of rest (the player will awake with the message "SOMETHING WOKE YOU UP"), denying the player the full healing benefits of sleeping for long periods of time.

Eating certain Recipes created from Frontier Cooking has a chance to lower the effects of Insomnia if consumed. Drinking [[Herbal Tea]] or foods that provide the [[Improved Rest]] benefit can help counteract the effects of Insomnia and allow for deeper rest periods.

Escaping regions that Glimmer Fog frequents will not remove the affliction at this stage. Curing the affliction only requires the player to wait the allotted hours for the disease to pass. Further Glimmer Fog events will not increase the affliction time until it returns to Risk status.

== Survivor Quotes ==

* "I'm tired...can't sleep"
*"I can close my eyes, I just can't sleep."
*"I can close my eyes but I just can't sleep."
*"Just...can't sleep!"

== Trivia ==
Insomnia was introduced in the [[Tales from the Far Territory|Tales From The Far Territory DLC.]]

Much like Cabin Fever, Insomnia is a psychological condition; specifically one that can be diagnosed as an inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time due to stress or anxiety. However given the nature of the machine located within the [[Langston Mine]], the electrostatic field it produces seems to upset the body's natural body chemistry, resulting in the inability to sleep.

Like other afflictions, contracting Insomnia results in the player character providing unique audible cues related to their condition. The survivor will complain about being unable to sleep despite being tired.

A [[Note (Forsaken Airfield)|Note]] can be found from a survivor detailing their desire to leave the area that Glimmer Fog regularly envelopes, due to them being unable to get any sleep.
