I surprisingly missed a significant number of questions on LR when it is one of my best sections. I was on 3 hrs of sleep and commuted 2 hrs to my test center. Was this the reason?

I feel like this is a 'find the flaw' LR question...

Pretty much. At least you have a second chance in December, like me.

im not really sure what the point of this thread is.
do you want your poor performance justified?

Oh, I'm trying to figure out why my performance on test day was affected this badly. If it wasn't the sleep factor, then maybe I won't score higher even upon a retake.

This is almost certainly the reason. I would retake. If need be get a hotel close to your test center prior to your next test so you don't have to commute so far.

I never fell asleep the night before the September LSAT, and I think that fact definitely contributed to my missing 8 combined on the LR sections. I had never previously answered incorrectly more than 5 LR questions on a single test, and I usually only missed between 1 and 3. With that said, I looked over all the LR questions I missed on September exam, and I think the LR sections were a bit more difficult than average, which makes sense as the LG and RC sections were arguably easier than normal.
