The most recent research shows that lack of sleep causes stress hormones which basically inhibits the growth of cells that lay down new memories. In other words, if you sleep, what you learnt the day before you'll remember much easier. There are also various other reasons why we sleep, although many are theoretical. For example, during REM (a phase of sleep where we have rapid eye movement and have the most vivid dreams), it is believed by some that this is an evolutionary process to make sure there is no danger present, since it is much easier to wake up and be alert during these cycles than when in deep sleep. Just find a worthy pyschology textbook if you want detailed explanations

when we are sleeping our mind slate gets wiped clean so that we can start new memories, if we dont sleep this cant happen and everything blurs and blends, we loose concentration, cant think clearly, make irrational decisions, have our moods all over the place crying then irritable, if you want to see what happens if you dont sleep try it you will see these things do happen
