Yes: When people are under physical (lack of sleep) and psychological stress, it impacts the ability to think clearly, feel calm, and function well. If this is due to known causes of stress, try relaxation techniques and sleep hygiene. Structure sleep, controlled deep breathing, and so on. You may want to meet with a therapist to discuss what is going on and get input on other ways to help yourself.

If your symptoms do not subside consult a mental health professional who can help you learn new ways of coping more effectively. My best.
