Does anyone else sleep loads?

Yess,ive always slept loads, didn't realise this could be an autistic trait,Currently waiting for a diagnosis so I'll have to bring this up.

is it an autistic trait ?

is it an autistic trait ?

Yes, I kind of know that feeling. I know quite a few people find the after lunch period quite difficult from a work perspective.

It's tough when/if it does switch one's brain into struggling to perform. It can feel a bit like when a phone gets to low charge and starts getting really slow and sometimes apps start crashing.

ok  this is interesting because

a. I always suspected that  I have ADHD as well as autism but have never done anything about it

b. i can fall asleep if I lie down  in middle of the day and lose 2 hours work for no reason ---  I am trying to address this / fight it  with some improvements

I've come across links between fatigue (including sleepiness) and autism before.

I'm aware of a seemingly decently strong link between ADHD and sleepiness.

There have been studies looking at ADHD and sleepiness - such as:

"EDS [excessive daytime sleepiness] was relatively common in adults with possible ADHD. ADHD symptoms, especially inattentiveness, were associated with the formation of EDS in this population."
