Okay, so lately (well for quite a while) I have been experiencing sleep issues eg, not being able to sleep at all, getting one/two hours sleep at a ridiculous hour and having to do a ‘routine’ before being able to sleep. What I am asking is this: What are the short and long term effects of sleep deprivation? Also, if you have any extra information about sleep issues it would be great.

Thanks, a lot.

What are the side effects of sleep deprivation? How much sleep should i have?

I am 22, i work 40 hours a week, and i’m also taking 3 courses this semester. I have about 4-6 hours of asleep every night. Will i be developing any sleeping disorders if i have this much sleep a night. How many hours of sleep should i get for my age? What is healthy?
