Hi. Yes, go ahead and observe if sleep deprivation affects your stuttering. About drinking alcohol, some people say it worsen their stuttering, while others say it improves stuttering. Ethanol links to GABA receptors in the brain, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. So it seems your stuttering worsens when you are more relaxed and cannot monitor your speech so well. Sandra
