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.

    Had a bad nights sleep last night. Frown We had put up blackout curtains earlier in the summer due to the early morning sunrises but i had put them away thinking that the autumn mornings weren't so early.

    last night was quite light and i woke several times.

    i checked the moonrise time and phase of the moon this morning and found that we are nearly at full moon and that moonset was in the middle of the night last night so there was only a short period between moonlit night and sunlit daytime. Frown

    if you suspect that light interferes with your sleep then the next few days could be really bad as the moonset time gets later and full moon is due on 9th September.

    for details of phases and moonrise and moonset.

    our blackout curtains will be tightly in place for this week and the next full moon when the moon will be up during the night time.

    This isn't witchcraft, it's just the impact of photons on our sensitive eyes and brains!
