Abstract (English): The article focuses on the representation of insomnia and sleep disorders in art and medicine, taking as a reference the “plague of insomnia” described in Gabriel García Márquez’s novel *One Hundred Years of Solitude*. It is proposed that, although in fiction insomnia causes immediate harm, in reality its impact is progressive and is related to cognitive decline and memory loss—problems that have become socially normalized. Furthermore, it is suggested that insomnia could be considered a disease with epidemic characteristics, influenced by social and technological factors, and that addressing it requires a collective will to improve sleep health throughout life. The text emphasizes the importance of recognizing sleep as a central element for public health. [Extracted from the article]
Abstract (Spanish): El artículo se centra en la representación del insomnio y los trastornos del sueño en el arte y la medicina, tomando como referencia la “peste del insomnio” descrita en la novela *Cien años de soledad* de Gabriel García Márquez. Se plantea que, aunque en la ficción el insomnio provoca un daño inmediato, en la realidad su impacto es progresivo y está relacionado con el deterioro cognitivo y la pérdida de memoria, problemas que se han normalizado socialmente. Además, se sugiere que el insomnio podría considerarse una enfermedad con características epidémicas, influida por factores sociales y tecnológicos, y que su abordaje requiere una voluntad colectiva para mejorar la salud del sueño a lo largo de la vida. El texto enfatiza la importancia de reconocer el sueño como un elemento central para la salud pública. [Extracted from the article]
