Black Moon by Kenneth Calhoun

What happens when the world stops sleeping, but for an unexplained few? As the planet spirals into hallucinatory madness, we follow a handful of sleepers, dreamers and insomniacs as society implodes. Though society's loss is a distant second to the individual stories of people lost and found, asleep and awake.
I enjoyed seeing this through the various viewpoints; the people on the sidelines desperately trying to find safe places to sleep and locate missing loves, the sleepless slowly succumbing to their madness, the scientists desperate for a cure. I also liked that there was no pat answer as to why sleep (mostly) disappeared from the world, and the hints that it might be something beyond science, or perhaps science at its purest.
