'It is often claimed that prolonged lack of sleep has serious consequences, such as psychosis or death through circulatory collapse.' http://www.neuro.uu.se/fysiologi/gu/nbb/lectures/Sleep.html That is the result of torture though, rather than insomnia.

Yes you can Die, reason why its not sudden death from lack of sleep, its more of that you are aging and becoming older because you are not sleeping and arnt releasing hormones, primarily, "Human Grwoth Hormone" . Achieving Deep sleep stage of sleep can release this hormone which is an anti aging hormone, aka "Youth hormone". consequences of sleep deprivation will take effect later.
