Is it common to get sleepy after big emotion, like crying, or anger, or hurt? Is this an #ActuallyAutistic thing?

Hmmm, I'll have to see what happens the next time I get emotionally overwhelmed

@sofiav Hell if I know. NTs have never mentioned it, and I've seen them have big emotion and then go back to just functioning.

it's pretty common to see references to people crying themselves to sleep...maybe it depends on the emotion?

@sofiav For me, it's any intense emotion. Having the time of my life, the best joy ever, still also leaves me exhausting and in need of sleep and recovery.

@Miakoda I know I am drained after such a thing happening, and I am AuDHD. But I don't know if it's also more common for NT folks... 😊 Hopefully you will get enough replies to find you. 😉

yes, it's common for NTs as well. Big emotions are physically draining.
