Yes, it most definitely will.
Here's a link for some tips:

The basics:
-eliminate caffeine completely (or at least after noon)
-go to sleep./wake up at a consistent time
-if you can't sleep, don't stay in bed--go do something in another room, or you will always subconsciously associate the bed with insomnia
-with that same logic, don't watch tv in bed, or associate anything other than sleep (or sex) with your bed.
-don't drink a large amount of alcohol before bedtime--a glass of wine works great, but nothing more.
-try meditation--if anything, it will at least help regenerate yourself during the day
-avoid long daytime naps--20-30min maximum
-exercise regulary, but avoid strenous exercise late at night
-avoid "solving" or "figuring out" stressful situations in your head during time you should be sleeping--basically let go of your thoughts
-try some warm caffeine-free beverage before bedtime
-try a warm/hot shower/bath before bedtime
--an last but certainly not least, you may want to see a therapist to address whatever stress, worry or fear is keeping you up.
Oh yeah, and I would avoid sleeping pills and such. They are addictive, have diminishing returns over prolonged periods, and are usually a band-aid in lieu of better, healther and deeper long-run solutions.
yes it could.
your body needs more rest than its getting.
you should see a doc and talk to him about this.
cant see a doc?
then go talk to your local pharamacist about it
and ask for something that will help you sleep.
hope i helped.

Yes it could. A person needs, on average, 7-8 hrs of sleep per night to remain healthy.
If you are having problems getting to, or staying, asleep try cutting out caffeine at least 4 hrs before bedtime, smoking too.
Try not to eat or exercise late at night.
If you are having problems getting to, or back to, sleep, get out of the bed for at least half an hour then try again.
Talk to your Dr. they can prescribe a medication that will help you stay asleep.
