Some causes for sleep deprivation are illness, work, sleep disorder, medications, environment and babies. Illness such as colds and tonsillitis can cause snoring and frequent waking. Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and snoring cause sleep deprivation. Medication used to treat ADHD and epilepsy can cause insomnia. Your sleep could be interrupted for many environmental reasons too like if it’s too hot or cold, noisy neighbors, a snoring bed partner or children.
Shift-work also causes issues with your sleep pattern because people who do shift work disrupt their sleep-wake cycles on a regular basis. Also people who travel frequently tend to have erratic sleep patterns.

The symptoms of sleep deprivation in children are moodiness and irritability, temper tantrums, over-activity and hyperactive behavior, daytime naps, grogginess and reluctance to get out of bed.
The consequences of sleep deprivation are poor memory and reduced concentration. Some others consequences are loss of motivation, shortened attention span, reduced alertness and lots of others.
