Of course we knew this anecdotally, but it's nice to have confirmation from research. Lack of sleep makes you cranky.

Crappy.

Does it work the other way too? Frustration drags it out of you and you get tired?

While I do not have research on hand to back this up, I would guess that getting angry does lead to being tired. It produces adrenaline and cortisol, so when it's over, you will crash. Please someone correct me if there is actual research on this.
