Chronic Sleep Deprivation
Day 1
Tiredness is setting in
Unable to go to sleep
My impaired concentration
Preventing me counting sheep
48 hrs
Slow processing abilities
Solutions I can't solve them
Extreme irritability
One of my many problems
Day 3
Major difficulties thinking
Microsleeps unofficially
Walls closing in and shrinking
Hallucinations seen visually
96 hrs
Distortion in perception
Revealed secrets expose us
Exhausted mental deception
Disorienting psychosis
Day 5
Complete mental breakdown
Immune system dysfunction
Total confusion surrounds
My inability to function
144 hrs
Shadows talking in the distance
Paranoid whispers haunting
Muscles weakening resistance
This reality is daunting
Day 7
Disconnection from reality
And an elevated heart rate
Giving in to mortality
My mind in a different state
192 hrs
Thoughts stand still in my head
Concept of time I can't manage
Am I alive or am I dead
Irreversible brain damage
