What are the long term effects of not sleeping well?

Aka lack of sleep, can anything happen?

Yep it will fuck you up. Aside for the standard irritability, daytime fatigue, lack of focus, etc. that you'd expect, you will likely have an elevated daytime heart rate and have an increase in stress hormone norepinephrine which will constrict blood vessels leading to elevated blood pressure. Left unchecked this could lead to a heart attack or stroke. In some people (like me) norepinephrine will also trigger you to have a fever. High fevers left unchecked can cause brain damage. You could get waves of chills due to fevers. People with a predisposition to mental illness will have elevated risks of psychological issues including paranoia, hallucination, depression, and even a full blown psychosis. Extended sleep deprivation can lead to various types of organ failure, which can result in death.

It also negatively impacts you immune system and much more...

I had a neck injury recently and was in pain 24 hours a day. The first night after the injury I think I got 15 minutes of sleep. Second night only 1 hour, the third night about 2 hours, and the fourth night 3 hours. My heart rate was racing at like 120 bpm all day, my blood pressure which is normally healthy around 118/78 went to stage 2 hypertension, and I was running a fever of about 102 F. I managed the pain, fever, blood pressure, inflammation from the injury and took melatonin nightly to get to sleep. On the fifth day I finally got like 6 hours of sleep and things started to improve.

24 hours is no big deal, but don't let it go on for 2, 3, 4, 5 days...

The CIA learned that sleep deprivation is an effective form of torture. Not sleeping well negatively affects the brain. For more info, I recommend the book "BrainChains" by Theo Compernolle.

Tiredness, Laziness, Less appetite, frequent yawning and eyebags is what I faced when I used to sleep at 3 am. I remember dozing off in online Geography classes when Sir would be scolding us for not turning on the Camera. His scolding was weirdly a calming lullaby lol. Nowdays, one day I sleep at 1 am and other day at 3 am. It's much better.

I'm already more than 24 hours with no sleep, I think ima go to sleep

[Apulu_Imback]

In the long term if you continue to not sleep well, your body will struggle with repairing itself and your brain will not be able to retain information very well which can lead to problems with your other body systems.

Damn

I think there are tons of potential health problems in store if you don't sleep well in the long run ..

I think you're better off researching the benefits of sleep and the health problems that are associated with lack of sleep in long term than asking such a question on this site.
