Going to bed, is it hard?

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?

  • We do.  We always mean to go to bed earlier but hardly ever manage it. It’s often 2am before we manage to actually go to bed - it’s mad. I think for me it’s the having to clean my teeth - so I keep putting it off and then before I know it it’s 2am, or I fall asleep on the sofa. When I actually get into bed I love it - but I hate getting ready for bed. I feel like such a failure that I can’t change this bad habit!
