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 suffer from nightmares often but they are strong when I do. The only thing I have a problem with is waking up multiple times a night. If I could be knock out it would make a huge difference to my moods. Having kids though means you are often sleeping with one eye open and relaxing is difficult anyway.
