That question is hard to answer since the amount of sleep you need is a very individual thing. But this is some things you can expect.

problems with concentrating and staying focused. Your mind will tend to drift and you'll have to make an effort to stay on target

Mood swings, bad temper, irritability, a short fuse to name a few. When you are tired you are less patient and less willing to let little things pass

You will put on weight. Bad sleep habits leads to bad eating habits. You will need sugar and quick carbohydrates to stay on top of things, You will tend to select fast food and quick snacks

You will have problems with remembering and learning stuff. Reading will be difficult, writing will be difficult. Passing tests and exams will be hard and you will score lower than you might

So get enough sleep already ;)

I wouldn't say it's bad but it's not good. Take it from someone who works nights and sleeps four hours a day. I am healthy as can be. I lift weights, jog, and hang out with friends. The only side effects I've had are sleepiness but that should be expected.
