Anybody else find that their sensory sensitivity means they struggle to sleep well? I seem to wake up to the slightest sounds. I suppose it classes me as a "light sleeper", but I'm unsure if it's separate to my general sensitivity to sound generally.
I've started putting 10 hour sleep music on Youtube low when I go to sleep, It helps to block out some of the quieter noises that wake me up...... Some of the sleep music videos give me weird dreams, But there are plenty on Youtube to choose from.
Thanks for the tip. I suppose it's common for people with autism to struggle to sleep because of sensory sensitivity?
It is for me, & I have heard similar from others on the spectrum, Not sure how common it is though..... I also get highly anxious if I can't identify the noise that has woken me up,
