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?

  • Maybe I do avoid going to sleep. I stay up late till around 11-11:30pm because that is the time when the rest of my family are in bed and I'm completely alone, it's my time to do whatever I want without compromise or judgement. And I suppose I do put off going to bed because I get distracted. If I don't finish something I want to do though that will just keep me awake, bed or not. This has it's drawbacks though, as I'm getting older I have to have at least one earlier bedtime a week to reset, or I'll get extremely tired the next day.
