The sentence that expresses an opinion is: People need to realize how important sleep is and what sleep deprivation can do to people. All the sentences of the passage state the information that stands a fact or universal truth, while the last one stands as conclusion based on the listed facts in previous sentences, so it can be considered as an opinion of the author.
