I don't think order matters so much as the cyclical pattern. I have seen variations; some versions don't include insomnia, and some versions include other additional factors.
There are many other
vicious cycles as well (Google
vicious cycle and click on
images). The idea/term can be applied anytime two or more factors feed on/exacerbate each other. There's a well-known book about the
Specific Carbohydrate Diet (
SCD) for
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (
IBDs) entitled,
Breaking the Vicious Cycle.
Non sequitur paragraph deleted.
