So today I'm feeling utterly exhausted and burnt out. I've been chaperone for my friends hospital appointment today and to be honest I don't think I've been the best company, I've been up since 2 am again and just feeling low and flat. I'm hyperaware of everything and just going through the motions, trying not to upset anyone. The weathers been pretty rubbish today maybe that's got something to do with it I dunno. I'm trying to be productive I've done the laundry, the washing up, taken the rubbish out etc. its all just going through the motions.
After talking with a professional about my sleep I've realised that my autism may be affecting my sleep (yay for minor breakthroughs). Let me explain a little further I've just started on melatonin and most nights it works I sleep through but I also suffer with alexithymia where I struggle to name and pick up my emotions so the nights before possibly stressful days I wake up in the early hours and can't get back to sleep.
