The issue I’ve always had is that I can’t sleep without noise. Without a show/podcast, my brain just won’t stop…wanting to think? But with something on, it’s like it goes into passive mode and falls asleep. It’s the difference between falling asleep in 15 minutes versus staying awake until 3AM 🤷🏻♀️
Are you me? XD I still have a lot of sleep problems, but I’ve noticed I can get to sleep a lot sooner if I put on a show or podcast that I’ve listened to before. If it’s new, I’m paying too much attention to it. Otherwise, it’s just good vibes into slumberland.
I always have trouble with sleep. I feel like I have a routine and BOOM a week later I’m staying up until 3 a.m. This drives me crazy. My ADHD ass can’t hold on to self-imposed routines for very long.
Edited to add: after reading (ok, skimming - It’s long!) the article, maybe I’ll have to try using my SAD therapy lamp year-round to get my sleep rhythms a bit more regulated.
I am I the inly one that has to drink extra, extra strong coffee to even contemplate sleep?

@kepic currently trying to read and really understand this, because I’ve been experiencing sleeping problems since as long as I (#ActuallyAutistic) can consciously remember.
Sleep is not the easiest topic in scientific research for a layperson to understand, I’ve just discovered.😅
I drink chamomile green tea before bed.
green tea is different than chamomile. Green tea actually contains caffeine. I suppose you do take chamomile but I needed to clarify it in case someone goes try green tea without looking it up more.
