   Tiredness?
   
   Just kidding, I would presume that side effects would include things such as lack of concentration, stress, eye strain, etc. It's difficult to answer this question since I'm not sure what the reason for lack of sleep in this situation is.

   Insanity.  Studies have been done on this - I'm sorry I can't be more specific as I read the studies some time ago and can't remember where I read them.  The studies have shown that after 7 days, a person is out of their mind.  (yes - that's a technical term - haha.) 
   Actually, sleep deprivation is a "tool" used in "interrogation" and torture.
   From personal experience with insomnia, I can say that I have experienced disturbing visual hallucinations - although I was well aware they were not real.
