Who named insomnia?

Insomnia was first described by a Greek physician, Aretaeus of Cappadocia, in the 2nd century AD. He used the term "agrypnia" to describe the condition, which means "sleeplessness" in Greek. The term "insomnia" was first used in the 17th century by the English physician Thomas Willis.
