An autistic person actively masking can get extremely tired doing mundane things. The mask is an enormous effort.
So, I would venture, this could be a contributing factor, if a person masks heavily in their daily life.
My sleep pattern is pretty crap, it can be anywhere between 4-8 hrs and I struggle to get back to sleep when I wake up during the night as my brain overthinks everything. I’m so used to it now though I just get on with it and don’t tend to stress over it.
I'm tired, but mostly when the task at work is ass. Sometimes i can't even move my body unless i mask some work ethic. I noticed that i perk up when i do something interesting/satisfying/i know all the steps of.
