This happens for a number of reasons, but mainly because of the brains reliance on sleep to function correctly. When you don’t get enough sleep, your rains frontal cortex is unable to control various aspects of your function such as your memory and speech. When it needs to solve a problem for you, it can’t do so. Even more so, the risks that you put yourself in when you are suffering from sleep deprivation can be life threatening in themselves.
