Chronic lack of sleep causes huge problems both mentally and for the physical body. A weakened immunity, diabetes disruption, heart disease and obesity are amongst the physical problems and immediate cognitive impairment, reduced reaction ability when driving or operating machinery, memory loss, mood disorders and inability to concentrate are all effects.
