I’m not after any medical advice or help with prescription medication. I realised I’m autistic about three years ago and went into a long burnout, probably about 18 months long. I then contracted covid three times and have gone from insomniac to not being able to stay awake, I can sleep for 10 - 12 hours and wake up tired, I’m constantly tired and could quite happily sleep in the daytime. That’s not possible as I need to work. I don’t do anything in the evenings anymore and can quite happily go to bed at 8pm. To be honest I still have little interest in anything.
I don’t know if autism is overwhelming me more and I’m realising that so much of my life and struggles have been autism related or if I still have the affects of covid. I’ve had blood tests and all normal.
Is there any vitamins anyone can recommend, not weird foods as I couldn’t eat them. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Roy - when I stopped drinking (drinking) - I found that I slept, and slept and slept. When I wasn't sleeping, I knew I could sleep.
This was the EXACT opposite to what I was expecting to happen.
It did level out........very slowly, to more "traditional" levels of awakedness-v-sleepiness......eventually.
