In addition to numerous physical consequences, just one night without sleep can affect your mental health. According to recent research from the University of Arkansas, just one sleepless night is shown to increase a person’s anxiety and depression. Although previous research has confirmed that stable sleep habits are important in battling depression, this study demonstrates that mentally healthy adults are susceptible to the effects, as well.

Loading ...Researchers selected 102 healthy Arkansan adults as their test subjects, most of whom were affluent white people in their early twenties. Of the original group, 88 people successfully completing the study. All subjects filled out questionnaires on the first day to ascertain their sleep habits and depression levels. Afterwards, each person was randomly selected to be part of one of two groups: one that was asked to sleep as much as they would in a normal night or one that was asked to stay up the entire night. Members of this second group were instructed to call the laboratory every hour throughout the night to verify that they were actually awake. On the following day, participants filled out similar questionnaires in order to compare their results after the previous night.
The control group, the people who had slept for a full night, had a negligible reduction in their depression and anxiety. Though this could be due to sleep, the experts acknowledge that this finding may be the result of the subjects being more comfortable with the laboratory setting by the second day. Meanwhile, the sleep deprived group’s anxiety and depression levels increased by about 10% each. Clearly, having even just one sleepless night is enough to raise concern for everyone, including young healthy adults.
Overall, this study is further proof of how different aspects of wellness are interconnected; having a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle requires solid sleeping habits. Learn how to achieve better nights of sleep in order to have more cheerful and relaxing days.

Sleep deprivation is also linked to Diabetes. I used to be able to go for a week with only two hours sleep. After I started meds, I couldn't go more than a day before hallucinating. I rapid cycle dream which makes it hard to get a restful night's sleep. Extremely vivid, action packed dreams are also linked to Bipolar.

As everything in nature we are ruled by cycles, and that includes our rest time. This is a stressful life, so we better be prepared to face it with all our energy. Even more than quantity, quality of your sleep time will have an impact on your general mood and energy levels.

I learned this is preschool: Rest is the basis of activity. For successful action we need sleep, for more reasons than just depression... Rest disolves stresses which have accumulated throughout the day, and these stresses accumulated create illness and disease. Docotors estimate about 90% of all diseases are stress related, either caused by stress or made worse by stress. It is during rest that the body naturally heals. When you are sick, the doctor says, go home and rest. Clear body and mind=greater ability for more effective action.
Of course sleep deprivation would lead into depression! I learned that in Psychology class! http://korean-zombie-shirt.com

Most definitely true. If I don't get enough sleep, I'm really crabby. It is like trying to quit smoking.
The question most people have is "how much sleep do we really need?" Is it 8hours a day? Interestingly, its not about the time you go to bed. The quality of your sleep is just as important if not more important!

[...] Sleep deprivation causes behavioral abnormalities and impairs your thought process, becoming worse the longer you are sleep-deprived. Even if you sleep a few hours per night, you will likely experience the slow accumulation of the negative effects of sleep-deprivation over a period of several days. The authors of the study wanted to determine how easily people recover from a model of sleep restriction that reflects the average American’s schedule: a five-day work-week with relatively little sleep, followed by an extended “recovery” sleep on at least one weekend night.
