I've heard of sleep deprivation experiment they did on rats. They kept one rat awake forever, I think the mechanism was constantly pushing it towards water or something like that.
The rat eventually died from lack of sleep. Interestingly it lost more weight than a rat would when it dies of starvation.
If you don't get enough sleep you feel very low. You can still do work but you're creativity just dies. I also find that you become partially numbed to the importance of things happening around you as well. You judgment is hindered and you are more likely to make decisions based on only the short term.
I've heard of a family that have rouge gene which in some of them at around 30 kicks in and doesn't allow them to sleep at all. Drugs don't help. Within 2 weeks they are totally psychotic and its always fatal!

It causes psychological problems, for several days you will experience paranoia, hallucinations, and other symptoms that mimic those of psychiatric disorders. These symptoms disappear as soon as the person has been allowed to sleep again.
