I was playing at around 1550 rating but suddenly over night I dipped 200 points and I’m now blundering like never before and missing my opponents tactics. Is this normal? Has anyone had this kind of experience before? I think stress with school and a lack of sleep are to blame but I’m not really sure. Any advice to overcome this dio would be greatly appreciated

I think a couple of nights of good sleep could make all the difference.

You have played 350 5 minute blitz games in the last week.  Divide 3500 by 60 to figure out how many hours that is. 

I get something like 58. 58 hours.

 

That has to take a toll. You probably function more like a zombie.

Get some sleep.
