sudden loss of lower joint notes

hello, strange thing happened twice recently and I wondered if anyone might shed some light. Towards the end of band practice my Yamaha SEV clarinet suddenly won't play any of the notes of the lower joint in the middle register. Upper joint is fine. Changed the reed, swabbed out the horn but still no lower joint notes. Lower register plays ok but stuffy. Struggle on and try again at home an hour later and still same result. Go to bed and next morning all is well again.

This has happend twice recently and I'm wondering if it's due to my tiredness at the end of the day or something I might be able to remedy at the time. I'm worried about this happening in a concert. Be glad of any comments or sugestions.
many thanks
John
