Yes that is possible: Stress can impact the quality of your sleep & disrupt your sleep. Encourage you to examine what is causing you to feel stressed & to address it. Acupuncture can help with both stress & sleep. Would try to get physical activity every day. Avoid or keep caffeine & alcohol use to a minimum. Consider tai chi, yoga or meditation. Progressive muscle relaxation & breathing exercises just before bed are >.

Restful sleep: When stressed sometimes sleep quality may be impaired even though you are sleeping the same number of hours. Do some things to promote relaxation before you sleep, such as rubbing your feet, using aromatherapy, meditating or listening to guided imagery or self-hypnosis audios to help with sleep.
