Play calming music instead, the Minecraft soundtrack is what I use, it lets me paint a picture in my head of things going on as it soothes me to sleep, I usually never make it past song 5 lol
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. 🥴
