The quote illustrates how the health of a person with FFI will slowly but surely deteriorate the longer they are unable to fall asleep. A person with FFI will experience ataxia, which causes balance and coordination problems, and the loss of the ability to walk and speak.
In the end, there is no cure for FFI. Therefore, for anyone reading this, if you have problems with your sleep patterns, or if you have difficulty falling asleep, please consult a doctor immediately.
Never underestimate insomnia. Maybe at first you will feel that staying up all night will allow you to finish your assignments or work, or you can play your favorite game all night, or you can do anything to fill your free time without being distracted by activities like you do during the day.
It's only fun if you only have one or two sleepless nights. However, if it continues to happen throughout the week or even into the month, then it won't be fun anymore.
Take care of your sleep patterns, because by taking care of your sleep, you will also be able to maintain your health. Don't let you get this FFI disease. Although FFI is a genetic disease, and it is very rare for people to have it, it does not rule out the possibility that someone can get this disease.
Because like the symptoms described above, this disease will torment you slowly and will end in death. Therefore, it is very important to sleep at least once a day for 7-9 hours. Even if you have insomnia, sleeping at least 1-2 hours a day is a must so that your body can rest.
Therefore, take care of your health by paying attention to your sleep.
