Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep ; it can be either chronic or acute . A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue , daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight loss or weight gain. Complete absence of sleep over long periods is impossible for humans to achieve (unless they suffer from fatal familial insomnia ); brief microsleeps cannot be avoided. Long-term total sleep deprivation has caused death in lab animals.
