Poor sleep and low libido: what's the connection?
It is possible, but whether poor sleep brings on low libido is specific to you. There is surprisingly little research on this exact connection, and poor sleep affects low libido in some people and not in others. The only reliable way to know your own answer is to track poor sleep and low libido together for two to three weeks and look for the pattern in your own data.
Why there's no one-size answer
What shapes how you feel has obviously not been studied, but more important, many combinations of things have simply not risen to the level of attention in scholarly research that is needed to say with certainty how they are related. Bodies differ. Poor sleep might affect low libido for another person and do nothing to you. The only data that settles it is your own.
