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?

  • Can’t say I have this issue exactly but I do find it hard sometimes to get that starting momentum to put my phone down and start the process of going to bed but once I’m in bed I don’t have any issues with falling asleep (with help from medication). I know some wait till they are almost passing out before going to bed and thats their norm but to me that’s not normal, I always get into bed, close my eyes and lay quietly with my own thoughts till I become unconscious.
