Yes, but only after Duncan's murder. As Macbeth thought he heard, "Macbeth shall sleep no more," because he murdered sleep. He murdered Duncan in his sleep and his guilt murders his sleep. Lady Macbeth is also effected by all of this. Later in the play, she sleep walks and tries to wash the blood off of her hands, which symbolizes her unending guilt. She is reliving the nights that Duncan and Banquo were murdered and she is so paranoid that she must sleep with a candle so that she is not murdered in her sleep like Duncan. She is so guilty that she eventually commits suicide.

The Macbeths' plan was to blame Duncan's bodyguards for the murder of Duncan. To this end Lady M. smeared their faces with blood and they stole the bodyguards' daggers to commit the murder. But Macbeth was worried that when they woke up and denied having anything to do with the murder (They could reasonably point out that they had been too drunk to do anything) people might believe them. Therefore he made sure they had no chance to deny the murder.
