It’s exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it’s pretty inefficient. I’m trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.

Sleep apnea can also cause fatigue for hours when waking up and it often goes undiagnosed for people living/sleeping alone.
Basically the body refuses to breathe correctly while sleeping, which leads to oxygen deprivation in the brain, causing a huge strain on the heart and cardiovascular systems.
Some side effects are difficulty waking up in the morning, general fatigue or tiredness during the day, gasping for air while sleeping (you wouldn’t notice this yourself), and sometimes especially vivid or weird dreams.
Definitely check with your physician as it can cause early heart failure.
Dude I got my CPAP machine like two months ago and once you get a mask that fits it changes everything. Like, I was tired, but I wasn’t just tired. I was short with my partner, I was doing bad at work and convinced they were just waiting for an excuse to fire me, I wasn’t enjoying the stuff I was doing or spending time with my friends. Once I got my sleep right everything else came back.

my autism therapist said the same thing. i just gotta have the energy to ask for a sleep study from my medical system. ugh, the system is so draining tho.
In that case get it done, don’t wait on it, usually they will want to run the test overnight, some places require you to sleep in their room. If you do have sleep apnea the machine should improve your quality of rest significantly once you have start sleeping with it.
