Note
A plural that exists because insomnia can be counted as well as treated as a mass noun. In everyday use the singular does the work: she suffers from insomnia, not insomnias. The plural earns its place when distinct kinds or separate episodes are being compared, whether varieties of the disorder or the informal sense of passing bouts of sleeplessness. Where only one condition is meant, keep the uncountable form.
