I agree with Sean and Matt: steal from the old Night Terrors hindrance
description.
This would give a -1 penalty to all actions for each night without
sleep, up to a max of -5.  If you'd like to do a wind penalty on top of
that, I'd recommend that you have it act as a penalty for restoring lost
wind (# of nights without sleep/mult. for regaining lost wind):
1 / x1 (basically, no wind mod)
2/ x2 (2 minutes for each point of wind lost)
3/ x3 (3 minutes for each point of wind lost)
etc.

Hope that helps.  Coincidentally, this happens to tie in a bit with
something I'm working on.  I'll post the rough draft to the list after
school today.  Gotta go to work now.
