Do you suffer from nightmares or any other sleep disorders?

Deleted User

I've read several times that Autistic individuals suffer from higher anxiety levels than non-Autistic ones.

I myself suffer from nightmares, for as long as I can remember, that is more than 15 years at least, with varying frequency but on average 1/day, everyday.

There seem to be some studies here and there about a possible link between Au and Nightmares or Sleep Disorders, but I wonder if there is any significance or not.

It's possible that there isn't any strong link as well.

So my questions are:

1. Do you suffer from nightmares or sleep disorders?

2. If you do, did you find practices that helps reduce them?

As for myself, I have tried some things like hot baths, breathing techniques, even medication. None has really helped.

3. Have you read any interesting study in this regard (i.e autism connection to Nightmares or Sleep Disorders.)

  • I don't tend to have nightmares but I often dream about something relevant to what I'm worried about or preoccupied with. Work will often feature in my dream when that's on my mind but it'll be a bizarre dream that isn't really about work at all, just something relevant. I've never found a way to stop that happening.

    I used to be a horrendous insomniac, it was awful. I still have bad nights but nowhere near as bad as it once was. Couldn't tell you what helped with that. One day it just got better.
