it seems like lately i haven't really been getting enough sleep and sometimes i will admit that i do get a little grouchy with people when they do things that annoy me that might not always annoy me unless i am just sleepy, and then there are other times when i'm friendly when i am sleepy and try and help people out, and i have heard that sleep loss can cause people to be grouchy, so what do you think, do you get grouchy when you don't get enough sleep? i would like to thank you in advance for taking the time out of your day to come by and read my discussion and try and help me with my discussion, thanks and have a safe and happy weekend, happy mylotting!

I become the princess grouch, my sister is the queen grouch. we both become very unplesant to be around if we have been deprived of our 8 hours. Enough so that we don;t even want to be around ourselves.

Usually I do ok with a lack of sleep for a day or two. But consistently over a longer period of time, I get cranky. I am now remembering this because I have a 10 week old son. So sleep deprivation is going on. I forgot that with my daughter.

Absolutely! I get very grouchy when I don't have enough sleep. I try to combat the crankiness by making sure I'm clean, hydrated and fed, though, if I must stay up! I wish I could sleep 10+ hours a day, but usually 8 is enough for me not to be grouchy.

I do get grouchy if I don't have enough sleep. Sometimes, you just can't tolerate the stress, and the slamming on your brain. It really stress me out sometimes. Even though I tried to be nice, just couldn't control the temper.

i become very grouchy if i don't get enough sleep. also if i am awaken and am still tired then i will be even more of a grouch. i have to get about 8 or 9 hours of sleep before i'm friendly enough that anyone will want to talk to me.

I am like the proverbial bear with a sore head, I am mega grouchy, grumpy and irritable if I don't get enough sleep, I am not a morning person full stop and whoebetide anyone who decides to talk to me in the morning, they will get a gruff answer, everyone knows to leave me alone. I love my sleep a bit too much at times. I have a face that says 'Go away leave me alone' or I'll bite your head off!

When I get little sleep for several days in a row I tend to get really grouchy. I get annoyed when people keep at me and ask me stupid questions or keep bugging me to do things when I know it's needs done. Little things tend to annoy me when I'm tired but when I'm not, I could care less about all of those little things.

I also get grouchy with people when I am sleepy. Sometimes I know I should controlled my temper, but I could do nothing with the bad feeling of sleep loss.
I think it is maybe a physiological reaction.

Yes, I do get grouchier when I don't get enough sleep. I've been working on a drama production for the last few weeks. We've been working on it six days a week since. I've been getting more and more tired. I've been a lot more irritable, because I'm tired and have been working really hard on this drama production. It's the same thing, whenever I do work this hard.

Generally I do not start out grouchy no matter how tired I am. But, I will admit I am much more quick to snap and get inpatient with people if I'm tired. I get frustrated alot more easily if I'm tired as well. But on the other hand, I can be pretty silly and goofy when i'm tired. So it really depends on the events of the day.

I haven't been getting enough sleep in about a month now for various reasons, and I definitely know that I'm a lot grumpier and my overall mood is really low.
It takes hardly anything to make me swear and get upset, and I'm just angry and moody all the time.

yeah I am the same way...really grouchy when I don't get enough sleep. the other thing is, I get easily annoyed (and I mean easy.) I have also noticed when I get a really good nights sleep...i am a little grouchy as well because I had to wake up and if one bad thing happens, just stay away from me haha
