There's an unnecessary coma in the other answer, which suggests that the answer is wrong, while you say it's correct...
"Strach, spowodował, że nie mogłem spać." The one just after the first word in the sentence.
At the moment when I was commenting, it was already fixed by another contributor - so that's why I didn't see any problem.
Wikipedia says that "lęk" is internal, it's a state of anxiety that may not even be caused by anything specific, a sense that something bad is coming. "strach" should be caused by a specific danger.
I don't feel like this is something that people who aren't interested in psychology are able to tell apart. I think that we can safely accept it.
I see the verb, "powodować" is part of "spowodować" , but why is this "s" added on?
To make it perfective. "powodował" would mean, that such a situation happened more than once, "spowodował" refers to a particular occasion.
If we assume that it was a longer time when you were afraid (a few days at least), then "sypiać" (on many occasions) could work. Added.
