Pronunciation: In - sow - mmm - nee - ah

Sentence: Clarise the pig owned the bed. Ever since she was a piglet, she had been allowed to sleep in between Joyce and Phil and as she became larger, it became more and more difficult to sleep. Clarise constantly rolled over during the night, made loud hog snores, hogged the sheets, and squished them; leaving both of them with a horrible case of insowmnia.

Etymology: Insomnia (an inability to sleep, chronic sleeplessness) + Sow (An adult female hog)
