➸ The stress and being sleepy thing

Someone (youneedacat, I think?) wrote recently about getting really tired as a type of stress response. What IS that even about? Because I am pretty sure that happens to me, at least some of the time.

Right now I am effing exhausted…

OMG I have this too ! I fall asleep when stressed all the time ! I’ve never heard of anyone else who has this, so…wow !

Does this ever happen to you:

That’s what happens to me if I get into an especially stressy situation, get sleepy, can’t get out of the situation, and remain in the situation for an extended time.  Granted, I have adrenal insufficiency, but still.
