How do you cope with exhaustion?

Deleted user

I'm into my older years now so suffer from tiredness anyway but I find myself exhausted more often and I'm sure it is the autism. I'm interested to hear how you cope with this? I found it stops me doing the things I want to do and I end up sleeping more. It's frustrating because I really want to do things but I can't because of the exhaustion.

    It's always been an issue for me. I think it is the autism too. I have two tactics that work for me - one is to take a 10 - 15 minute nap during the day. That's luckily all I need to regain some energy. The other, when I am motivated enough, is to go for a run. I have found that on days when I exercise I am much less tired. What I have found doesn't help me at all is getting into a cycle where I go to bed earlier, as that doesn't help (in fact it's one of the signs of depression kicking in). But of course we are all different.
