So no. I don’t just mean “tired.”

then you need to state what you mean by affecting your mental health as its way too vague a term

you may as well say if you dont get enough sleep do you feel tired?

yes

That’s not the only thing I’m trying to say though. You can interpret it that way if that’s the way you want it but some people might have pre-existing conditions that sleep deprivation makes worse. And in any case you may or may not feel especially tired after a rough night (or shift equivalent/whatever it is) but still have difficulties with concentration and mood either way. All that stuff falls under the banner of mental health when it’s connected with sleep deprivation.

If have "mental health" issues then its probably not a good idea to:

"whether that’s going from one high rave to the next with Red Bull and a Saturday pick-me-up Nandos as a sleep equivalent or lying in your dream-den for 20 or 40 hours"

what ever that actually means

one imagines
