Can Fatigue Cause Temporary Loss Of Memory?

Hi if you could help me understand an incident that happened over the weekend. my 54 year old boyfriend and I hosted a family get together this weekend. all of a sudden he got really upset. and said some out of character and out of line things. Afterwards he did not remember what he had said. I know he has been working a lot lately and has been very tired. Could something else going on with
him caused him to not even remember what had transpired. He remembers some of what he said but not in the same he said it
