#1 Brain Development and Memory
Sleep deprivation has drastic effects on a teenager's developing brain as his/her brain remains in 40% slow-wave sleep, where the brain carries out the functions of development and healings while that of an adult remains at 4%. Henceforth, lack of sleep can affect both short and long-term memory. It further diminishes the mental ability of a 15-year-old to that of a 13-year-old at which further leads to an impoverished performance in academics.
#2 Thinking and concentration
As discussed earlier, sleep deprivation leads to poor performances in everyday situations as well as in academics, however, it also leads to a decrease in one's concentration, creativity and problem-solving skills. It may also lead to an increase in drowsiness which in turn may lead to accidents.
#3 Mood swings
Sleep deprivation makes you moody, dramatic, destructive, or emotional, which in turn may lead to elevated anxiety and depression.
#4 Weakened Immunity
Our body produces pathogen-fighting antibodies and cytokines to combat pathogens such as viruses or bacteria, shielding our body from illnesses such as cold or flu. Furthermore, some cytokines also provide efficient sleep providing further efficiency for our defense system to develop. However, sleep deprivation prevents such bodily actions from taking place and also deteriorates our body's ability to fight off diseases.
#5 Heart diseases
Sleep deprivation may lead to elevated blood pressure and a higher proportion of chemicals released, which increase inflammation, both of which increase the risk of heart diseases. Long-term effects may also include diabetes.
