Mostly trying to keep calm. I don't work anymore, spend most my time regulating.

Wake up at around 8:00 - 8:30. (well get out of bed, I wake up at least 5 times during the night)
Get cup of hot chocolate with instant coffee, sit behind SAD light browsing the Autism forum and others for 1-2 hours until I'm recovered from sleeping.
On even days I work out, slow reps to feel the burn, basically somatic pressure exercises with 20 and 40 pound dumbbells. On odd days I go for a 20k to 25k run in nature to recharge. Effectiveness depends on the weather, I need to feel the sun to function :/
Afternoon I either read, play Synthriders for 30-60 minutes (moving meditation when overcast), do some cleaning, some yard work, or go paddle boarding on the river next to the house.
Shower between 6 and 7.
Eat after 7pm when I can (too stressful to eat during the day time)
Walk the dog at around 8:30pm
Give my wife a 45m massage after 9pm which helps us both.
Have some THC oil in hot chocolate, catch up on the news and play a simple game for a bit.
Have breakfast at midnight.
Fall asleep with some boring tv show.

Can't cut any more demands, still can't get out of burnout sigh. Of course there's more stuff, Saturday is laundry, Tuesday clean up and garbage, Groceries every 10 days, and taking care of kid's needs. Plus every day stuff comes up. Sometimes I just go lay under my weighted blanket for an hour to calm down.
