Stress can cause this. You might want to speak to a health professional and rule out underlying causes before seeking to understand what aspects of your mental state may relate.

I came here to talk about stress. I have been experiencing similar symptoms to the OP and I've finally figured out that stress/anxiety are HUGE factors. Depression could also be a contributing factor.

Also consider: sleep, vitamin D, drug use, carbon monoxide, concussions, early onset Alzheimer's

the last 3 are less likely. consider, but seek and take advice. If you go in the mental health door, a good one will ask the questions which head these choices off quickly from basic bloods and some diagnostics.
