Their sleep is obviously problematic, but they're able to fall asleep (just not for long).

Have little sympathy for them as an actual insomniac where I simply can't fall asleep no matter how tired. Hours and hours of laying there, wishing sleep would take me away.

Maybe I get an hour, two is a bonus. Body breaks down, can't eat, can't sleep, barely functional.

This might be Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and not insomnia. I suffered from it for years and years before I was able to train myself into falling asleep. And then I suffered from sleep apnea for years and years before getting diagnosed and getting a CPAP machine.
Callous.
