Does Anyone With ASD Have Major Sleep Priblems! My Sleep Is atrocious and ive had lots of medication from my GP but nothing helps. Started doing sleep diarys to compress my sleep but still struggle. Doesnt help the environment im in i.e flat with dogs barking continuously, tvs loud, banging noises all of which irritate the life out of me!!!!! Ive also tried a snooze band with calming music, pillow sprays, weighted blankets, loop earplugs but nothing seems to be helping. It effects my mood massively and feel fatigued constantly. Anyone else relate and have any other options i just find it so hard to relax, always have to be on the go! Thanks!
Also, a lot of the 'sleep tips' I find online are borderline useless. They say stuff like 'if you can't get to sleep within 20 mins, get up and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy!!'
Uh no. I AM sleepy. I am SO exhausted. My brain and my body want to sleep but I can't actually fall asleep.
