I started hallucinating through lack of sleep. And when I did eventually go to sleep and I had really bad dreams.
My mind was in a constant turmoil and I could not concentrate. And even to this day it is still a mystery to me how I coped at work and managed to get through the day.
I never gave my own sleep patterns much thought, that was until I went into hospital to have an operation on my back. My brain had been so deprived of sleep that I went into a deep spiral of depression after the operation, (though there were other reasons as well) but basically my brain could not cope with it.
The effects on my body were as such that I developed the shakes and lost a great deal of weight. So much so that I had to take early retirement from work.
I am much better now, but I would say to anyone who does not sleep much (like I would stay up all night some nights to write reports and prepare for meetings) to get help before it becomes a monster that is out of control.

honestly without enough REM sleep (in which dreams take place), over a period of time many detrimental effects begin to take place. Firstly depression, then frustration which can expose itself in boughts of anger and overwhelming stress. After a while, and without REM sleep over the couse of say 5 to 7 days, halucinations will begin to set in, and lucid dreams will blend in with reality, leaving the sufferer unable to distinguish dreams from his own reality and surroundings. Hope this helps!

Loss of concentration, can not think straight at times,loss of energy, moodiness, being irritable, maybe lower seratonin in the brain (the feel good chemical), depression after a long time, headaches, even dizziness the list goes on.

You lose concentration and eventually begin to hallucinate. YOu then pass out frequently and eventually die. The highly trained military echelon (Rangers, Navy SEALs, DELTA force) all train their soldiers in advanced sleep deprivation. They gain the ability to sleep act. They can literally make sentences, set up positions, cook and eat food, all in their sleep. They use this trained state to save energy and regain sleep for when they must wake-up to use full concentration for firefights and attacks. Pretty cool huh?

It makes you want to visit Yahoo!Answers and waste your precious sleep time even more. No, I don't get enough sleep because I'm too busy answering these questions!
