What effect can sleep deprivation have on my brain? -

I have, intentionally and unintentionally, been deprived of sleep for several months now. I also suffer from depression. I believe this may have an impact on my grades.It's weird, though. I feel like a total mess in the morning when I get little to no sleep, but I don't feel much different when I do get sufficient sleep.I am able to concentrate in my classes to some degree, but I often find my mind drifting off and thinking about the multitude of problems that have pilled up in my life.It's very frustrating because I often have to put in a great deal of effort to study for a test when some people don't spend much time studying and do way better in tests than I do. I know that depression may cause memory loss, but I just don't know if that's really the problem.Any suggestions? Thanks.
