Insomnia is when you can’t sleep for what ever reason….there are a few reason’s for that.
If you have mental health issues then you can experience a time called -Mania – in which you will feel you don’t need sleep and can literally go days without it. It’s a part of the illness that causes a ‘high’ almost like wayyyyyyyyy to much caffeine in the body and it makes you want to – go go go go – and not stop for days on end and then when you crash from it you crash hard…..
So there isn’t necessarily a ‘disorder’ but there is a Mania that can cause this to happen for many people who have a mental illness – Bipolar Disorder especially.
– hope this helps –

I saw some show on discovery health about a guy who had gotten shell shock in Iraq, and no longer has a physical dependency for sleep.
I wish I remembered what it was called…
