And the steroids for my sinuses aren’t helping matters.

    Funny you mention that method, I do a similar method myself! I was also told that might be a sign I have undiagnosed autism. But, with outside life stresses, it’s been harder to accomplish the shut down process lately. But with that said, you’ve convinced me to give it a second try tonight, wish me luck!

      I have diagnosed autism and I have the same… Problem? I often have to listen to some music after a busy day or a stressful day in order to be able to fall asleep.

        Apologies for the late response, and perhaps I need to be tested. 🤔 I just feel like a tea kettle constantly near boiling after a hard day. Some nights, the most I get is 4 hours and the rest of the time I wake up a panicked state. Awake for hours until I have to get up. 🥴

          It can’t hurt to run a test. It also sounds like you’re very stressed :c.

            You’re right, I am stressed… A recent family illness isn’t helping, along with having PTSD. When it rains, it pours I guess. 🥴

        Wait, is this linked to autism? I’m on the spectrum and thought this was normal, do people not listen to calming music when they sleep??

          People usually do not, no. At least that is what my coworkers and friends say!
