I'm sure there have been numerous occasions where you stayed up late partying & doing God knows what, & when you wake up the next day your voice is all low. While you think it may sound quite sultry & cool, probably all you are good for is muttering sweet & low nothings to your dahling but for singing, nothing will hinder your range & energy levels more than lack of sleep. Thankfully voice inflexibiliy related to lack of sleep is treatable, much more so than say tonedeafness. (Another good topic for later) But all you have to do --howerer not as easy as it sounds-- is GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!!!!
Sometimes, (rare occasions) I will say to myself: "gee I sound pretty good today" & then I'll realize I had a really good nights sleep. I know this sounds indulgent but 10 hours of sleep can do wonders. Probably I'm just paying back sleep debts & wouldn't need 10 hrs forever but the nights I have slept that long I have given the best singing results.
Although not talking directly about sleep for singing here is an interesting article about sleep & sleep debts:

"You don't need rock-hard abs" Yeay for me!!! Oh, we were told as a diaphragm workout, or if u need to sing sitting: in a seated position, bend ur arms, fists closed and pointing upwards. Breathe in deeply, then let the air out only through ur diaphragm strenght while making a "sss" sound through ur teeth. It's also a relaxation technique for if u get the jitters. ...works for me!
