Struggle to sleep after busy day around others

Autismman

When I’m around others for long periods of time, not close family as such but colleagues etc I often feel too wired to properly shut off at bed time. I get what I consider to be a delayed reaction to all the stimuli, as if I walk around in a protective bubble all day then all of a sudden when night approaches the thoughts start knocking at the door of my mind. I run over conversations, try to guess what someone may have thought of my greetings, did I appear weird at all in some way? Are others judging me or am I just over-thinking?; Mr over-thinking is my life long friend. Usually the next day when I have slept these thoughts and concerns lessen.

  • I definitely have difficulty switching off and getting to sleep when I have been interacting with people. I had to doing a webinar training last week and after that interacting it took a long while to switch off and I was still going through my input the next day, wondering if I said the right thing.
