Well logically that is correct but technically it is incorrect. Insomnia is not a state between concious and unconcious but a state in its own right. Because you never get enough sleep you feel, for most of the time to bepartially asleep, almost dreaming if you will. Ultimately this could lead to narcolepsy, with which one can fall asleep at any given time. My cousin, who is but a year older than myself suffered this a few years ago and if I remember correctly it used to happen at school and as such he missed quite a portion of his final school year.

Fortunately I myself am not in such an advanced state as I can sleep and sleep well for long periods.
