If you were on a CRJ and the cabin pressure went nuts it probably wasn't because of a lack of rest. A monkey could work the system. Also there are several backups so I really doubt there was a problem with the cabin pressure. If the pressure got too high the crew would have to perform an emergency depressurization and if it was too low the masks would drop. I'm pretty sure an ERJ has several backups as well.
