I noticed that as well so it could be. But the others should have been exposed by now as well. Qrow went and found the other bodies after all. Okay, here's what I've got.

I dont think Weiss and Yang being tired is because of the Grimm in the basement. It can easily be chocked up to having to go through a train crash, learning Ozma's full biography, discovering that their enemy is immortal, and realizing that they're on what seems to be a desperate suicide mission to cancel the apocalypse. Also, Yang is suffering from PTSD and Weiss doesn't want to go back to Atlas, and the discovery of dead bodies in the place they're currently staying at didn't help with that. Weiss and Yang say that they're tired because who wouldn't be?

Long story short, I don't think the Grimm in the basement is the cause for their exaustion. If that were the case, then why is it only affecting Weiss and Yang? Why isn't it affecting the others? Why isn't it affecting Qrow who found the rest of the bodies? It all ultimately comes down to fatigue from the group and paranoia from the audience. On the other hand, Weiss and Yang seem to be most upset/full of the negative feeling at the moment, which could explain why Grimm is possibly targeting them. Thanks to Ren's semblance it seems that Grimm can't really see people, only their emotions, so it would make sense for the Grimm target first those who it can see the best.

And as far as we know, Qrow might be just as sleepy them (or sleepier) since he spend the end of the episode  "out of the camera".
