Not sleeping enough and not sleeping well is not OK. As a
matter of fact, there is quite a price to pay. It may surprise
you to learn that chronic sleep deprivation, for whatever
reason, significantly affects your health, performance,
safety, and pocketbook.
There are many causes of sleep deprivation. The stresses
of daily life may intrude upon our ability to sleep well, or
perhaps we trade sleep for more work or play. We may have
medical or mental-health conditions that disrupt our sleep,
and be well aware that we are sleep-deprived.
However, it is critically important to realize that sleep
deprivation is very often due to unrecognized sleep
disorders. After a typical night's sleep, you may not feel
restored and refreshed and be sleepy during the day, but be
totally unaware that you are sleep-deprived or have a sleep
disorder. You might think, "It's just the stress of work or the
kids," or you might have "always felt this way" and had no
idea that you should feel differently. This lack of awareness
compounds the consequences, because so many people
remain undiagnosed for years.
let's look at the consequences of sleep
deprivation.
In the short term:
Decreased Performance and Alertness: Sleep
deprivation induces significant reductions in performance
and alertness. Reducing your nighttime sleep by as little as
one and a half hours for just one night could result in a
reduction of daytime alertness by as much as 32%.
Memory and Cognitive Impairment: Decreased alertness
and excessive daytime sleepiness impair your memory and
your cognitive ability -- your ability to think and process
information.
Stress Relationships: Disruption of a bed partner's
sleep due to a sleep disorder may cause significant problems
for the relationship (for example, separate bedrooms,
conflicts, moodiness, etc.).
Poor Quality of Life: You might, for example, be unable to
participate in certain activities that require sustained
attention, like going to the movies, seeing your child in a
school play, or watching a favorite TV show.
Occupational Injury: Excessive sleepiness also
contributes to a greater than twofold higher risk of
sustaining an occupational injury.
Automobile Injury: The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) estimates conservatively that each
year drowsy driving is responsible for at least 100,000
automobile crashes, 71,000 injuries, and 1,550 fatalities.

Another health consequence of sleep deprivation is that, it may eventually lead to insomnia. This also has triangular effect of leading to: Hypertension, diabetes and stroke.
