Atypical sleep is apparently common in people with autism. I've had it for as long as I can remember. I went through my whole formal education and every job I had sleep deprived. In high school, my friends thought I was high every day because my eyes were always red. I was just sleep deprived. I had to rely on family members to wake me because no alarm would. In university, my career advisor kept telling me that I needed more rest. -The only times in my life when I've felt adequately rested were when nothing was required of me. When I don't have a defined sleep schedule and I can sleep whenever I need, that's when I'm mentally operating at 100%. If I go to to school or a job every day, I can't catch enough sleep. When I'm sleepy, my working memory gets drastically worse too. Sometimes I'm late for appointments because I can't schedule my sleep. +The only times in my life when I've felt adequately rested were when nothing was required of me.

Alexithymia is a difficulty in identifying and describing one's emotions. |
