Insomnia

RuthTaylor
over 2 years ago

Hello All, 

Since my ASD diagnosis earlier this month, I have been having more and more nights with insomnia. I’m even writing this message close to 4am!

Can anyone give me advice on how I can get a goodnight’s sleep or share what has helped you with your insomnia? 

Thanks in advance

    I stare at ‘Calm’ - meditation app - ‘Scenes’ with sound off.  My current favourite is the sensation of travelling over water.  My brother suggests that it’s like ‘visual white noise’

    Another good technique is counting breaths - thinking the numbers, not aloud- back from 100: 

    100: inhale

    99: exhale

    98: inhale 

    97: exhale 

    96: inhale 

    95: exhale 

    etc
