Human Factors
Two arrivals into RIC got very close to each other during the first couple minutes of training. There were very tough winds today. The first aircraft turned into the wind and immediately slowed down 100 knots. The second aircraft was turned on final behind him and separation was lost.The trainee recognized it and turned the second aircraft out. However; when turning the aircraft back to final the aircraft took an extremely long turn and broke separation with Aircraft Z who was also inbound to RIC.I am extremely stressed and tired today. I barely slept last night due to the government shutdown. But I am required to come to work because no leave is available. I tried to plug in to get my trainee some time on position training; but I should have refused to train him due to lack of sleep/stress.Shut down all of the NAS or fund the government. I am not the only stressed and tired controller. Loss of sleep is impacting my reaction time.
Potomac TRACON Instructor reported a loss of separation while training due in part to fatigue and distractions.
