Sleeping in clothes

Tulip52

Someone i know is sleeping in his clothes and often doesnt change the following day or have a wash. He is Autistic and has ADHD. He sleeps on the sofa with the light on, the tv on and the heating on. He regularly doesnt sleep until the early mid hours of the morning. He says he sleeps better on the sofa. I dont want to push my views on him, but i want the best for him.

  • Hi. These are things i regularly do. I more often than not sleep in my clothes. It, for me, when I'm really low, which is most of the time, is a security blanket and being unclothed unconciously makes me feel vulnerable. It's not a happy situation, but is somehow a securiy and a security measure, if that makes sense. I'm very agoraphobic and don't see people very often. It also reflects that being like this withdraws you from society, and you don't want to be around people when your unkempt, and this can be a reassuring blessing, in my case, that society and mixing with people scares me so much and mostly ends with me feeling so out of place and embarrassed and i fall apart.  I hope things get better for your friend
