Sleep inertia

Post Reply New Topic

40 years old. Autism, clinical depression, anxiety disorder officially diagnosed. Thus far zero other officially diagnosed conditions.

My whole life, been sleeping a lot and light sleeper.

Usually get about eight hours of sleep a day

Sometimes trouble falling or staying asleep

Usually sleep 10 to 6am.

Until March 2023, hardly ever took naps

Starting March 2023, all of a sudden, on my days off work (2 days off a week), been taking naps two hours after waking up.

Nothing drastic happened March 2023

It's so inconvenient because not only do I need a lot of sleep, but I can only sleep at certain times and the slightest noises wake me up

And my entire worthless corpse is rapidly getting much worse:

Physically weaker
Mentally slower
Emotionally fragile
Light sleeper
Sensitive to heat and cold
Bladder and intestines weak

Have you spoke to a medical professional about this
