Going with little sleep or constantly waking up will in fact lead to sleep deprivation.

Odd things take place when your body is deprived of sleep. You eat more, this is due to the fact if your brain cannot get the energy it needs from sleep it will turn to food.

Your body will actually crave certain types of food. Most of the food it will crave is fatty and sugary so you tend to eat more of this food which in turn can lead to obesity.

Also adding to the eating problem is the fact that lack of sleep slows down your metabolism. Your ability to say no to certain foods as you just don't have the energy to concentrate on what's happening.

Another effect of sleep deprivation is mood changes. You can become angry over small thing and take it out on your partner, workmates or even your children.
