With extended periods of sleep deprivation, one would experience hallucinations, delusions, and disorientation. These symptoms are known as sleep deprivation psychosis and can be a result of prolonged sleep deprivation. While there may be some lasting changes in mood and personality, they are not usually permanent or significant enough to be considered irreversible psychological damage. Difficulty in getting to sleep may also occur, but it is not as severe as the other symptoms listed in option B.
