Yes, skipping meals and not sleeping properly taxes all of your body's systems, creating stress that causes your menstruation to be erratic.

If you are not living a healthy life.your whole body suffers, including your menstrual cycle. It may or may not be a problem, but its a good place to start narrowing things out. Call your doctor and talk with him/her.

Although, I don't know much about periods, having a irregular period shouldn't be because of diet or sleep. That's on the territory of hormones. You might need to check with a doctor A.S.A.P.
