(like dramack said, I am borrowing heavily from the novel Insomnia by Stephen King) It is caused by a supernatural being that is trying to induce almost a constant dreamlike state in order to persuade the PC's to help him stop an evil force from throwing the balance of Random and Purposeful deaths. The reason for the sleep deprevation is to keep the PC's sane while making them feel insane so they are more likely to accept what is going on around them.I don't want to impose a whole lot of penalties, especially not to the point where the players get discouraged and just want to kill me, but enough that they will try to find out what is happening and be willing to work towards stopping it.Also...if anyone has any suggestions for a new DM, please let me know. And thanks to everyone that has made suggestions, I'm not as lost as I was.</blockquote>
