An ongoing lack of sleep has been closely associated with hypertension, heart attacks and strokes, obesity, diabetes, depression and anxiety, decreased brain function, memory loss, weakened immune system, lower fertility rates and psychiatric disorders.

When you don’t get enough sleep after a while I would say about 2-3 days you will start hallucinating/ seeing things that are not really there. Then your brain will start to fall asleep while your body is still awake and moving, this can lead to death.
