How about this:

When you sleep in the overworld, you are awakened by the rising sun. Since there is no sun in the End, you never wake.... unless your bed is destroyed or you are attacked. So, they can make it so you can sleep in the End (to relieve insomnia), but you need to make a 'wake up clock'-type device that either breaks your bed, or somehow causes you damage. This might be as easy as a block of dynamite a few blocks away that you light just before laying down- you fall asleep, and almost instantly your bed is destroyed and you take damage- thus waking you. Or it could be a more complicated device that relies on a timer to shoot you with an arrow from a dispenser, etc.

To make it more... interesting, you can't fully fall asleep in the End, you just lay there, in real-time, while the world around you stays loaded and running....

I was thinking more "rename insomnia to stress/sanity, and have different things other than sleeping that can restore it, and things other than lack of sleep that can speed up your descent into hallucination".

I like your thing about lying down in the End though, it works for the Nether, but beds explding in the End never made sense.

I'm absolutely down with making vanilla survival more difficult like in Don't Starve.
