In the freudian sense.
When I am tired, drowsy or drunk I have trouble keeping my emotions under control. Any tips apart from don't get drunk and get rest?
Sensible answers only.

Freud would say that you get your Superego involved. Actually, it's the ego's job to regulate between the two opposing forces. The Id is more the animal part of you - baser instincts. The Superego is the almost, heavy-handed "goodie two-shoes" part that makes us feel guilty when we've done wrong (or before we do wrong). The ego listens to both arguments and decides the "best" idea for action. The morale of the story is this "listening" takes time. Don't react so quickly, take a few moments before you chime in. Give your "conscience" a little time to evaluate and make a determination (get all the facts necessary) before you react. Also remember that when you are tired or drunk this will give need for even more time, as you react slower to stimuli when in either state, but can be more irritable.

I'm not sure that "Freudian" and "sense" should be in the same sentence.
My suggestion is that you shouldn't try to analyze your life in the Freudian perspective because much of what Freud has to say is just silly.
A lot of people have trouble keeping their emotions under control when they are drunk or tired. If this is a problem that is seriously hindering your ability to function, I'd suggest therapy.

Wouldn't recommend this without consulting a medical expert first, but
http://www.nlpinfo.com/
It works with some people though it has detractors, neuro-linguistic programming. It can help your reactions to certain events and such.
Alternatively, a bit of self-help. Destructive Emotions and How to Overcome Them, by Daniel Goleman is a good book with a nice mix of ideas.
But drinking is always going to cause you to lose control to some degree, it's not something that can be easily changed.

Apparently when a human being gets 'emotional' (be it angry, sad, frightened, paranoid etc.) when they're drunk or over-tired it signifies that this is subconsciously how they are feeling, or that these are the feelings they normally keep hidden. Ring any bells?
