Solution:
Autoimmune diseases are certain unrelated disorders caused by inflammation and destruction of tissues by the body’s own immune response. These disorders include acquired haemolytic anaemia, pernicious anaemia, rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, Sjogren’s syndrome, and several forms of thyroid dysfunction, including Hashimoto’s disease. Insomnia is inability to fall asleep which may be associated with physical disease, particularly if there are painful symptoms, and depression but is more often caused by worry.
