You can develop Epstein Barr or Fibromyalgea is my understanding.

The smell of lavender makes me sleepy. If I am pressed for time and need to sleep it has to be dark and I mean turn your alarm clock to the wall dark. As dark as you can make it. No tv, all those flickering lights from the screen in an otherwise dark room seems to really distract the mind and the eyeball. No music, unless you can pinpoint a song that you can kind of tune out and let your mind wander along with. No caffeine or exercise before bed...blah blah blah if all else fails turn on the weather channel.

Of course, not. Sleep dep. will catch up with you. You could end up with chronic fatigue like I did. Please get your sleep.

After pulling 36-hour shifts without any sleep, I've slept longer than 24 hours. Felt miserable afterward, too!  Catch-up sleep is not that great.

You can't eat, sleep, focus, think, function.  All your thoughts are really screwed up, and yes, nausea is also another side effect.

Sure if you don't get enough sleep or you sleep too much, it will certainly have an effect on your health. \n\nNot getting enough sleep can make someone experiance symptoms associated with mental illness. It can also wear your body down so your immune system isn't as strong.\n\nI wouldn't think that changing your schedule would make much difference if you still got the same amount of sleep. There might be a period of time where you body adjust to the new schedule but it will get use to it eventually.

Sleep deprivation is an overall lack of the necessary amount of sleep. A person can be deprived of sleep by their own body and mind, insomnia, or actively deprived by another individual. Sleep deprivation is sometimes used as an instrument of torture, but it has also been shown to be an effective treatment of depression. Sleep deprivation afflicts 47 million adults in the United States.\n\nLack of sleep may also result in irritability, blurred vision, slurred speech, memory lapses, overall confusion, hallucinations, decreased sex drive, nausea, psychosis, and eventually death.\n\n(FURTHER INFO...)\n\nThere are no documented cases of a healthy human dying from total sleep deprivation (excluding accidents), aside from those suffering from Fatal Familial Insomnia. In carefully monitored experiments, several normal research subjects stayed awake for 10 days. While they all experienced cognitive deficits in memory, concentration, etc, none of them experienced serious medical, neurological, physiological or psychiatric problems [1]. Total sleep deprivation in rats leads to death in around 28 days. Death occurs later if only REM sleep is eliminated. In humans, extended sleep deprivation causes microsleep sessions to develop. A person who has fatal familial insomnia may die after several months with no sleep at all; people without this condition may experience dementia or develop permanent personality changes within the first few weeks.

Exhaustion.  Some people go around sleep deprived almost all the time.  It catches up with people sometimes in a kind of rote going-through-the-motions state.

You're gonna have a lot of problem functioning normally if you don't sleep at least 6 hours a day. Your body needs to rest otherwise you'll be more prone to sickness. Also, people who don't sleep normally tend to be more irritable and their brains don't function properly. You'll be able to maximise your days if you sleep well. :) Take a long bath, relax, listen to some soothing music, and snooze away...

You need sleep time so the body can repair the damage done in the day.  You will suffer from all kinds of symptoms through sleep deprivation.  If you are not sleeping there is a reason and you should see your doctor straight away.  Lack of sleep is very dangerous to our bodies and can even cause hallucinations.

Adult requires a minimum sleep of 6 hours a day, sleeps will seriously effect your health in a very big way, if you do not get enough sleep, your anxienty, stress level will increase with ease, your mind will not think properly and also that your health will deteriorate extremely fast. so please try not to sleep at the minimum of 6 hours, get a healthy 8 to 9 hours. \n\nIn Korea this guy died of being awake for 50 straight hours playing online game. A few cases has happend already. so Take care Cheers
