RULES:
Submissions for this new contest may be any length or any type of writing. (just don't expect us staff members to read past the 4th or 5th page) You must write about lack of sleep. For example, you may either lament it in a haiku or inform the public about sleep deprivation in an article.

Your entry is more likely to win if:
1.) The writing uses all five (probably distorted!) senses. Perhaps your five senses are so distorted you have, or think you have a sixth sense...
2.) The writing includes hyperbole, similes, understatements or juxtapositions.
