Going to bed, is it hard?

Stuart333

I saw something on YouTube from Mom on the spectrum a couple of days ago saying going to bed was hard as it represents a transition. I hadn't thought of it in those terms.

It struck home as I have wondered why I spend hours sitting in my chair thinking I ought to go bed and not doing it.

Do others do this?

  • I struggle to get to bed too and then when I finally get to bed, I struggle to stop reading and to go to sleep. I didn’t consider that it could be related to autism, but perhaps it is as I struggle to stop doing many things, especially if they are of particular interest, during the day.

    I often think I will really try to get an early night, but the few times managed to get to bed early and to try to go to sleep, I ended up thrashing about and fidgeting. I have always done this.
