Is it normal to be this retarded when deprived of sleep?

If i haven't slept well the night before (less than 5 hours), hours before crashing completely, i forget words that were very familiar, or confuse words that sound alike but have totally different meanings, can't crunch simple numbers, can't pay attention, can't do a lot of simple things.
I find it extremely hard to find words or a proper use for them, thus end up making a complete idiot out of myself.
I think I am also an insomniac, as i keep moving around for hours before falling asleep, almost every night, regardless of how tired i am. During this time i get completely RANDOM thoughts, traveling very fast through my mind like they're not mine, keeping me awake. I feel like my brain is slowly degenerating, turning to mush or something, and it's very frustrating and scary at the same time. Ever felt like this?

    Ha ha, yes. I get delirious when I am sleep deprived. Sentences come out backwards, random words slip in, I stumble into wall, and laugh at everything. Fun times.

    When I'm falling asleep this happens. I can't keep a thought in my head for 5 seconds, I'll try to remember what l was think ing a second ago but I cannot, and I say strange things like "cat cheese spin..blue...bluee...sonic.. Ahaa parrots" and in my head it all makes sense...

    Yeah, I think that's normal. I'm sure theres a very scientific reason for it, too. When I'm fighting through the day to stay awake after an all-nighter, i'm the same.

    Words don't come as quickly, and I slur and mess them up when I speak. Sort of like being a bit tipsy, tbh.

    It's like your body saying 'gtfo and back to bed,' i think.
