Sophia was exhausted and angry, she hadn't slept well for a week now. Is this a run on? or a comma splice? or correct?

Answer: Sophia was exhausted and angry, she hadn't slept well for a week now is an example of comma splice

Explanation:

Comma splice occur when you incorrectly use commas to connect two independent clauses. Commas however work really well if you want to separate a series of items with conjunctions.

This is a perfect example of comma splice. Both the statements are independent clauses, because they make sense as individual sentences
