Yes, severity of stuttering increases when we don’t get quality sleep, and when we are in high stress, high anxiety situations. Adrenaline can also exacerbate stuttering. Mine is also noticeably worse when I have caffeine and sugary drinks/foods. I no longer drink caffeine, only herbal teas and occasionally I might have a decaf coffee if I’m craving the taste.
