Health is a very important thing in life. I can do my daily activities when I am in good health. However, I am concerned in my health, because I do not have enough sleep every day. What diseases can arise from lack of sleep? How do you maintain your health?

I am not really sure about the sickness, but lack of sleep can definitely mess up with your immune system. And once your immune system gets weaker and weaker, you will be very vulnerable to communicable diseases, like common colds. Our body also repairs the muscles and tissues during sleep so if you are not getting enough of it, you are not giving your body enough time to repair itself. So when you wake up, you still feel tired instead of re-energized.
