I know a lot of people on here struggle with insomnia and so I just wanted to ask a few questions about it see if anyone can help me
First of all, does it get worse for any of you when going through times of change? Whenever I start a new job or have some other change in my life it becomes unbearable. I just cant sleep no matter how tired I am or what techniques I try and my head drives me mad imagining things and being anxious while I am awake
Secondly, what techniques have you guys found works to help with insomnia? Like routines before bed, sleeping medicine, anything?
Really cant carry on like this every night
Hi Billy - gosh this sounds horrible to deal with, so sorry to hear
I did a search to see if the NAS had any information about insomnia and found this article:
https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/physical-health/sleep/autistic-adults
I hope something in there helps and you get some zzz’s soon!
