Sleep Tips for Adults

Skybird

I have AS and have always had trouble sleeping but just recently it has got much worse. it's really beginning to annoy me and people have commented about how tired I'm looking these days.

I have two issues. One is falling asleep and the other is frequent waking during the night.

I've seen loads of tips aimed at helping kids on the spectrum to sleep but I can't find that much for adults. I have a routine of what time I go to bed and get up and as you can imagine, I stick to that religiously but I'm not sure what else I can do.

    One think I learnt to do a few months back was to try and work out how to wrap myself up in the bedclothes so that I felt really cosy. Pulling the duvet snugly around my head and face seemed to help me relax. Perhaps it's a bit like Jamies idea to make yourself feel safe, perhaps its a bit like the snuggle blankets that kids get really attached to that helps them feel secure and safe?
