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.

  • Aromatherapy might help. I find Vicks vapourrub sothing and so apply it to my person and bedding to some beneficial effect. In general however Rosemary and Lavender scents have been used to promote restful sleep basically forever. You might try scented candles or oil burners (well out of reach to avoid firey accidents) or wrap some of these herbs in cloth (muslin works well) and put the bundle inside your pillow.
