I know what it is like to consistently not get any sleep. A decrease in mental abilities is the first symptom. You have trouble concentrating, you forget things easily, and, if you're like me, it seems like everyone is speaking a foreign language. The next symptom for me is I get clumsy and trip over things and run into doors and posts. Depression is also a problem because your tired brain doesn't have the resources to cover both basic thinking and not being depressed. Weight gain is a big problem, too.
If you aren't sleeping because of work or school, you really need to make sleep a priority. You'll do better in both. If you can't sleep because you just can't sleep, please see your doctor.

Difficulty in concentrating
Easily distracted
lethargic
blood shot eyes
always tired
Basically after a time your a wreck both mentally and physically.
The body needs a certain amount of sleep to "recharge the system" . Now the amount of sleep you actually have to get can be debate able.
I get about 4 to 6 hours of sleep, any more than that I'm just dead tired.
When I was younger, I used to go out clubbing get in about 2:30 AM and go to work at 6:30 AM with no problems.

Racoon eyes
Eye bags
Sleepy during daytime
Tired
As long as you get sleep, it should be enough to recharge your body. But the recommended amount is 5 hours minimum. I used to have that problem. I was an insomniac for quite some time and pair that with crystal meth and you will be awake for 3 days straight. I dropped drugs and took prescribed sleeping pills. I am now sleeping at least 5 hours a day.

its dangerous... the whole body needs the sleep to recover.. it doesnt only effect your brain and memory.. it also effect your heart and kidneys...
It can lead to mental illness as depression ...
The research of this subject is big and all the information about it is the same... Its not healthy and it put your body in alot of stress... so sleep at least 6 hours-day

I've read you will die faster from lack of sleep than lack of food... and you can get headaches, muscle pain, blurry vision, and its' pretty hard to think straight.... i only did it for about a week (except I got 4 hours of sleep) because we were on a missions trip and there was so much work to do. My sister's contacts got stuck to her eyes and it took forever to peel them off... it was so gross.
