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
