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?

  • Hmmm, I consider 11 an early night. I have not slept well for over 30 years, I get 5-6 hrs a night on average. I seem to be able to function on it.

    I used to go to bed around 1-2am, if I didn't need to work the next day then sometimes 4am. Once I start reading or doing something I don't want to stop.

    I liked night as it is peaceful and free of distractions.

    I also wondered if it was a control thing.

    The last 4 months I have been trying to stop it and go to bed earlier, but now I get up between 4:30 and 5:30.

    I too prefer to be awake at night because it is quiet and therefore easier to focus on what I need/want to do.
