Knock out tiredness with disassociation

[Boatsetsailrose]

Hi I'm querying at the moment when I experience a period of dissociation what the' knock out' tiredness is about.
Is it the brains way as a coping mechanism? Is it that experiencing the ef /anxiety state is so draining due to the emotional brain /amagdala?

Do others get the knock out tiredness? That massive need to  sleep..
It does feel like emotional tiredness on a huge scale for me...

I get the tiredness too.  I think it's caused by the cortisol levels increasing which after causes a crash? Just a thought.

I tend to want to sleep and sleep and sleep when I'm like that.  Do some self care as best you can

Hi deep blue
Yes sleep sleep sleep is exactly how it is.. Def about the self care and tailoring things down to, simple and gentle..
Feeling a bit better today although still. Out of sorts and rapid breathing but not so detached
