Sensory issues with sleep

Does anyone ellse tend to have an overactive brain before they go to bed? Like if your staying some where different like at a relative's house you can't sleep well unless it's your own bed. Other people's houses freak me out at night time. I can literally here everything from pipes creeking to floor boards to the wind outside. Then my over imagination kikcs in and thinks there must be somone there when reality I do t beleive in ghosts but old Victorian propperties really creep me out. I sleep fine in my house but when we stay at families houses not so much.

  • I am the same, I can't even sleep in the room next door to me as I won't sleep and sleeping at someone elses house is even worse. I think when your in your own room and bed it is naturally your safe space and your automatically used to your surroundings. This always happens to me like if I go for a sleepover, I never sleep anymore and I am anxious all night. I think being in your own home and room also gives you a sense of freedome but when your somewhere else you almost feel trapped.

  • Yeah I use to hate sleeping over at mates houses when I was kid so never do anymore it's wiered in away cause when I 1st joined this site I was doubting weather I was ASD and maybe they assesed me wrong but the more I read others issues on here the more I can relate to them and the less I doubt it too.
