Diseases Sleep Deprivation can cause.

You need sleep as much as you need to breathe and eat.
While you’re sleeping, your body is busy tending to your physical and mental health and getting you ready for another day.
In children and adolescents, hormones that promote growth are released during sleep.
These hormones help build muscle mass, as well as make repairs to cells and tissues.
Sleep is vital to development during puberty.
When you’re deprived of sleep, your brain can’t function properly, affecting your cognitive abilities and emotional state. If it continues long enough, it can lower your body’s defenses, putting you at risk of developing chronic illness.
