Not enough sleep = throwing temper?

I always get really grumpy if I don't get proper sleep. There was a time a couple of years ago in which I was under a lot stress and had a lot of trouble sleeping. After 4-5 days with horrible lack of proper sleep, I felt really irritable and I'd get annoyed at pretty much everything... it also triggered a big panic attack (well, that and all the stress) and I kept feeling kinda bad for the following days. Fortunately things settled down and I was able to sleep again properly :)

we have same situation. I only have 5-6 hours sleep because of my Job. i also noticed that i can easily get irritate at small things. i become angry even with my brother or sister. i think if you have a week without enough sleep. some of your system might function less than expected.

Definitely. Having little sleep takes a toll on our body and our health will be affected. Not only irritable but we could also die earlier if this goes on. This was stated by an expert. If we don't sleep early, our bodies won't be able to produce enough hormones and those cells needed to keep us strong and our immunity will become weakened as a result of that.

I do get moody when I don't get enough sleep. I guess it's one of those things that we never grow out of. My son definitely gets grouchy when he doesn't get enough sleep. Good luck with your many things. Try to take some time to yourself to relax and recharge.

When we don't get enough sleep, it caan make us disagreeable. Tempers can become very short. Our bodies require certain amounts of sleep to help us function in an orderly way. When that is disrupted, we can be hard to cope with.

The lack of sleep can really do some weird things to our mind to say the least. If we are not able to sleep, we are really not able to function as well as we could. Therefore, the littlest things in the world is just going to set me off. For right or for wrong, it is just going to happen. It is not the best thing in the world to snap at people from these things. It is wrong to say the least. Therefore, I try and get as much sleep as I know that I need to function. There are many times where I am glad that I had sleep, because it was able to push me through some really frustrating times. If I did not have that time that I sleep, it was going to be a rough road and I am going to start snapping on everyone. So yes, many temper tantrums are thrown without sleep.

Stress can certainly make one behave weirdly, short tempered, wrong thinking, wrong decision, quarreling, and so on. That can happen to everyone. Stress can be from lack of sleep, over-burdened, overwork, lack of relaxation. Yes, it is important to be cognizant of ones feelings and behaviours in time, to be able to control in time.

I think that there are alot of people out there that get short tempered due to lack of sleep.I think that some people can be ok with hardly no sleep,yet there are other people that can not handle hardly getting any sleep.I do not get alot of sleep as there are children in my house that do not go to sleep until early hours of the morning.

Oh yes. I throw tantrum, I get headache, I become more moody, sleepy during the days and alert at midnight. So, very bad.

I also have experience having a lot of work, so many stress, and so little time to sleep. And yes, I also become irritable but I really don't show it. I get annoyed with little things, but I just let it pass. I don't make big deal out things, that's why I'm still able to function normally. I just can't shake off the feeling of irritation though. Anyway, even though we get irritated, we should always watch what we're saying and be careful not to throw tantrums. Everybody get's stressed out. And lacking sleep doesn't exactly give you a valid reason to lash out on somebody. Discourtesy is still discourtesy full sleep or lacking.

In my work, I wasn't able to get enough sleep. We had a shifting schedule. Oftentimes I get temperamental also. It's hard to control sometimes. After you have said something,you then realize that you have done wrong things. It's awful.

Yes,I'm the same you. Keep you're healthy. I think you should arrange your works in order that you can sleep enough everyday. If not, you can't work in the next time.

At first, I'm still my old self. But, when I was into studying and working at the same time, I became irritable and sometimes, short tempered. There was no way I could get a straight 8 hour sleep because of my schedule. Then, I put in a 2 hour table tennis game just after work. I noticed that when I slept, even for only a few hours, it was a very good, relaxing sleep. And so too, my irritability was minimized, almost gone. I also put green posters in my room. That way, when my eyes get tired while studying, it gave me a relaxing feeling.
