I am not 100% sure if dehydration could cause vasodilation (swelling of a blood vessel), although it does make sense. As the temperature of the body rises, the blood vessels expand to release heat quicker. If one becomes dehydrated, and is then covered in ice packs, they may experience vasoconstriction, causing the blood vessels to constrict and hold heat in more, which would be unwanted.
So if you were asking if dehydration causes dilation of the blood vessels, then yes.

Can lack of sleep cause dehydration?
Yes it certainly can, this is a result of your brain using a lot more energy to maintain its energetic flow and needing to use the water reserve to cool down from overheating / overworking which causes sweating and inner dehydration. Another cause of dehydration can be a lack of water consumption in general or REM sleep (which is rapid eye movement) this is when the body falls into its semi sleeping state but still persists to lose energy while dreaming, this in turn causes sleepiness during awakening and dehydration of the mouth. So lack of sleep and the wrong sleep can cause dehydration, its always best to drink as much water as possible so your brain can keep up with its water consumptive ways.
