Is it common for people with AS to have sleep disorders?

Yeah i got diagnosed with high functioning autism and i didn't believe it at first then after maybe 2 years i stumbled upon autism and aspergers and i realised i have that and remembered i got diagnosed.

Since then i realise alot of problems i have are the result of it, i could never sleep when i was younger and now that i'm older i just mostly stay awake untill exhaustion and then sleep. sometimes working out helped me but i have to workout for like 2 hours lifting weights before i can start relaxing and slowly getting to bed. + i would also have to have had a very interactive social day to be able to really get exhausted so it's a weird thing.

But yeah let's say if i wake up at 7am then i will most likely stay awake untill 11am the next day. Sucks when you have school/work.
