Plenty: Some people need more sleep than others, but not enough sleep for anyone can be detrimental to one's health. Irritability, lack of focus, accidents, heart problems, lack of sex drive, weight gain, forgetfulness among many symptoms. If you suffer from lack of sleep, see your doctor whom may suggest a sleep study and a sleep specialist.
