Aspergers and Alcohol

Hawthorn

I have introduced myself recently and given an overview of where I am up to with things, however I also have a different subject that I would like to share...

I am an adult male aged 40, with Aspergers.

I have never been a heavy drinker (mainly due to suffering horrific hangovers) however i have until recently been a very regular light drinker - normal week would be two cans of average lager (4%) most nights.

I have stopped drinking altogether, which has been fine and to be honest apart from the odd exception i do not really miss it at all.

I am however sleeping better, and generally feeling in a better state of mind about my whole life. I have no intention of returning to alcohol, and I would love to hear of any other experiences out there.

  • Doors opening and closing, neighbours talking and clattering, anyone walking above me, even plugs being taken in and out of sockets next door, noises from outside, similar things to you really.  I have a history of not being able to get to sleep for ages every night too, it's just more lately as things have become so exhausting (plus I am on medication which probably makes it easier).  Sometimes I just wake up and don't even know why I woke up too.  I feel so tired from broken sleep and lack of sleep most of the time.  I could do with a long break on a remote island with someone waiting on me hand and foot.  Back to alcohol, I do think it has it's uses, but it is known to affect sleep too.
