At what point does sleep deprivation become a problem?

Sleep deprivation is a problem when it is impacting your life negatively. If you often can't concentrate in school because you're too tired or lash out at friends because you're on edge from lack of sleep, sleep deprivation could be a problem for you.

Sleeplessness is a valid concern even when it is a small amount of missed sleep. When we do not get enough sleep, our body is starts the day fatigued and stressed even if we're in a good mood; it affects all aspects of our well-being, from our alertness, to anxiety, making good decisions, and may even lead to medical or psychological problems if persistant. If sleep deprivation is interfering with your day-to-day well-being, it's important to seek professional support from a healthcare provider or mental health professional depending on your specific situation.
