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?

  • Are you going to bed at a time when you feel tired, or is it an artificial time? I mean one that makes it possible to get up for work/school/college/getting everyone else out of the door? My natural pattern is to go to sleep about 2am and wake at about 11am, I've been told I "should" go to bed earlier so as I get up at a "proper time", who would I be doing this for, because it certainly wouldn't be me. I've done my time of having to get up for school, work, children etc, so why does there have to be a "bed time"?
