Sure, that can matter a lot. An interview situation is a back and forth, and if one side isn't really participating at the top of their game it can make things awkward. Sometimes people do too many interviews and their fatigue with the process isn't fair to candidates who catch them when they're not at their best.

It definitely does. It's hard to focus on what you're trying to say when the interviewer seems totally disengaged. You start wondering if they're at all serious about you considering you for the position. The best interviews are the ones where conversation flows freely. That can't happen when one party is struggling to stay awake.
