Questions & Answers about nebusoku ga tsuzuku to zutsuu ga suru node, konya wa hayaku nerukoto ni suru.
寝不足 is a noun meaning lack of sleep or sleep deprivation.
So:
- 寝不足が続く = a lack of sleep continues
- more naturally in English: if I keep not getting enough sleep
Japanese often uses noun-based expressions where English might prefer a full clause.
Compare:
- 寝不足が続く = lack of sleep continues
- あまり寝ない日が続く = days when I do not sleep much continue
Both can work, but 寝不足 is compact and very natural here.
The が marks 寝不足 as the subject of 続く.
So the structure is:
- 寝不足が続く
- literally: lack of sleep continues
Even though English might say if I keep not getting enough sleep, Japanese treats lack of sleep as the thing that is continuing.
続く means to continue.
In this sentence:
- 寝不足が続く = if my lack of sleep continues
- or more naturally: if I keep being sleep-deprived
It is an intransitive verb here, so the situation itself continues.
Japanese often describes ongoing conditions this way.
