No te impacientes
I know it means don't lose patience, but it seems odd to me. I would say no pierdas la paciencia. Is not te impacientes a common usage?

It's not unusual and, although it's used mostly in a more formal register and you will find it more often in writing, it's neutral speech.
"Perder la paciencia" is a more daily speech formula, but "impacientarse" is quite a common verb.

It would be "no pierdas la paciencia".
If you say "no te pierdas la paciencia", it means you lose patience with yourself.
