El Chapo's lawyer, Jose Gonzalez, said that his infamous client cannot sleep in his cell, which is guarded by dogs and where prison officers come and check on him every hour.
The notorious criminal boss is currently being held at Altiplano prison, in Almoloya de Juzrez, Mexico, after being recaptured on January 8.
In the text, which he passed to Gonzalez via a third party, El Chapo writes: 'I haven't been able to sleep at all.
'They wake me up to take the register every hour during the day and every two hours at night, and there is a dog next to me which barks a lot and stops me sleeping.'
His lawyer has also stated in the public declaration that Guzman has not 'seen his family since before he was detained'.
He also puts this down to a 'complete lack of facilities, as there are no phones in the rooms'.
The president of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto, has explained that the State Attorney General for the republic is working to 'accelerate' the extradition of El Chapo to the U.S.
El Chapo, considered by the country's Department of the Treasury as the 'most powerful drug trafficker in the world', escaped from a maximum security jail in 2015 through a one mile tunnel which burrowed up through the floor of the shower in his cell.
