Irregular sleeping: Irregular sleep habits do have a number of bad effects over time, if one is not spending enough time in the deep stages of sleep as a result of the irregular sleeping habits. In addition to memory difficulties and mood problems, there is evidence that deep sleep deprivation can make diabetes control more difficult, which suggests to me that a significant stress on the body must be occurring.
