Sleep deprivation becomes a problem when it is affecting your daily life. Maybe at school or work. I would suggest seeing a doctor if so.

To the point where you get less sleep than needed. *cough 8hours* but of course nobody really follows that, so mainly once you actually feel groggy, poor, sluggish in the morning when you wake up. Even a couple hours less than normal in the long run can cause health problems and damages to the brain. If you physically find it really hard to sleep then you should visit a doctor ASAP.

When you start losing energy and you cannot make it through the day. Actually, that makes it a problem right from the start.

It can become an immediate problem actually. After one day of bad rest, our ability to feel full or hungry will be affected. Each day that passes without good sleep will lead to even worse symptoms such constant moodiness and even hallucinations.

Sleep deprivation becomes a problem when it interferes with your daily life and success. If you find that you are too tired to put your priorities in place, then something must change. Know what your priorities are (school, work, family, friends) and if you discover that you are putting any of those things off or saying no to those things because you are too tired, make a change.

Whenever your lack of sleep is clearly affecting your day to day life. Whether it's causing a decrease in physical function meaning you cannot do your daily activities. Or if it is a decrease in mental function and causes mood swings etc.
