Can god inflict temporal punishment such as insomnia on someone if they are not in a state of grace?
 
The way that you’re asking it here seems like you are asking if God is handing out a punishment. As I understand it, that is not the way temporal punishment works. The “punishment” is actually a consequence of a particular sin or unhealthy attachments. For example, if you eat too much you’ll feel uncomfortable or maybe even something worse.

Perhaps the word “consequences” is better suited when addressing temporal punishment. God isn’t vengeful and out to get anyone. But there are consequences for our choices, good and bad.
