No I dont mean regular insomnia, I mean it feels like I literally am incapable of sleeping, as if my brain is being "blocked" from producing it or something. I am diagnosed with a dissociative disorder but im beginning to question that diagnosis as I have researched what Im feeling and came across brain encephalitis and many other similar serious things that need attention immediately, which is why im considering going to the ER. Before I consider going to the hospital, has anyone else experienced this with psychosis or dissociation? Or does anyone know what this is?

sleep issues in my location do not include dissociation. short version sleep issues where the brain is blocking what is needed to sleep is a medical problem here in my location.... the brain naturally produces chemicals, some get produced nightly, some are meant to decrease during the night. this can be detected with medical procedures like blood tests, sleep disorder tests, cat scans, MRI and other tests.
dissociation is things like feeling numb, spaced out, disconnected due to a trigger...
examples...
being stressed out at work makes me feel numb, spaced out, like I can not feel my body.
being anxious causes me these same symptoms.
brain encephalitis shows up in medical tests like blood tests (because this medical problem causes other medical issues too that can be detected in blood work) and its also diagnosed through brain scans like x rays, cat scans, and MRI MRA...
my suggestion since you are looking at medical rather than mental answers contact your medical doctor who can get you set up for diagnostics for medical problems.
