When you're sleep deprived, overwhelmed and/or stressed, you will have more trouble being your usual charming self. During these times try to get more help and/or remove tasks from your to-do list. But if you can't do much to change the situation, at least be understanding of your struggle. Do your best not to hurt your loved ones (and yourself in the process) but if you slip up - which we all do on occasion - quickly apologize, repair the damage and move forward. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
