How to express the state of not being able to think clearly?
You know what I mean, right? Like, maybe because I haven't had enough sleep or got drunk last night. How to express it in a natural way that I can't think clearly and am being kind of stupid or confused by something at the moment?

There are a number of colloquial ways you can say this. Some of my favourites are:
"I'm not with it at the moment" (putting the emphasis on "with")
"I'm a bit foggy at the moment"
"I'm a bit out of it at the moment" (putting the emphasis on "out")
"I'm a bit slow at the moment"
I'll usually say these after I've made a mistake due to not thinking clearly, and give a little "sorry" before. Hope that helps a bit!

Travis's suggestions for colloquial ways of saying it are all good, and there are more.
But actually, just saying "I can't think clearly at the moment" would be perfectly natural and quite common.
For some other colloquial variations, you could try:
I can't think straight at the moment.
My head is all over the place at the moment.
My brain is not up to speed at the moment.
