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?

  • I find it hard switching off, not going to bed. The difficult part is transitioning in the morning as I sleep quite deeeply.Getting up is not a problem waking up can take a few hours.

    You have to set a reminder/alarm an hour before you go to bed. Then turn off everyhing and leave your phone outside the bedroom. 

    Look up CBT i. Its CBT for sleep
