Lack of sleep in the short term can cause loss of concentration, irritability, sluggishness and mood swings. In the Long term, it can affect your memory, your helth will deteriorate as you body needs the sleep to help regenerate in the nigh time. You will also have problems with mood swings. When we dream, our brain processes and works through events that we don't do when awake. if this process does not happen, your mental health will eventaully deteriorate also.
AND people who get less sleep can end up overweight, due to the fact that you might end up eating 400 calories more than usual in the day to keep your energy levels up.
take some time for yourself and try to get a good nights sleep (at least 8hrs) at least twice a week.

Everyone is different and need different amounts of sleep. I need my 8 - 9 hours a night or I wont operate properly. My hubby only needs about 5 or 6. I do know that the average is 8 hours of sleep a night. Ask yourself a few questions to see if you are getting enough sleep:
1. Can you get up easily in the morning or do you press the snooze button repeatedly?
2. Do you feel tired all day?
If your answer is yes to one or both of these questions, you need more sleep.
You may have insomnia and this could be caused by a number of things, stress is the main cause. Try and find out what is stressing you out and work on that.
Good luck and I hope you have a good night!

Thinking is not as clear and physical coordination is diminished. As an intern and resident I got less sleep than that in 24-48 hour shifts.

It makes you slugglish and ineffective at whatever you do, and if this routine continues, you will break down physically. Don't believe it? Talk to your doctor.
