WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP!
While we experience sleep as a biological force that overcomes us at a certain point in our day, how we experience that sleep is very much a construct of learned patterns.
The habits children learn in sleeping start from day 1, when they are babies.
From when we are babies onwards we learn habits of ways to fall asleep and stay asleep at night, some of which can be maladaptive in future years. These habits, though, can be retrained, and this is sometimes a key to promoting healthy sleep in a child, and avoiding certain sleep disorders.
If one thing is clear about sleep at any age it is that the way we sleep impacts our behavior, which in turn impacts the way we sleep.
"Your life is a reflection of how you sleep, and how you sleep is a reflection of your life."
                  - Dr. Rafael Pelayo

What this means is that when children don't obtain sufficient quality sleep, it will assuredly show up in other parts of their lives. While sleep deprivation in adults tends to lead straight to fatigue and drowsiness, fatigue in children is often often surfaces in the form of hyperactivity or trouble paying attention.
Unfortunately, these symptoms can easily be misinterpreted and those caring for the child, whether at home, school, or the doctors, can presuppose a learning or attention disorder, such as ADD.

Sleep deprivation is problem for many Australians, especially parents. Now, a new study reveals that not getting enough sleep affects gene expression in specific regions of the brain. 
Sleep deprivation has been linked to a number of cognitive, emotional, coordination, and concentration problems. Even some chronic diseases and disorders, like diabetes, depression, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, have been linked to prolonged wakefulness.
