@thesensoryco: Sleep struggles in autism are about so much more than just insomnia. 💤 From sensory overload and racing thoughts to time blindness and disrupted melatonin cycles—autistic sleep is deeply complex. You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. Your rest deserves understanding. 💙 Which of these do you relate to the most? #ActuallyAutistic #NeurodivergentLife #AutisticExperience #SleepAndAutism #NeurodivergentSupport

“Turn that TV off” but I can’t sleep without some form of noise because the silence sounds fuzzy and it stops me from sleeping

I can no longer sleep until almost 6am, everything in my head is racing and I get very anxious until I sometimes have a meltdown. I just want to be able to sleep, the only way I've started managing is watching a very boring series till I get drowzy or passout from the exhaustion

I’ve just learned to live with the things that bothered me until they don’t anymore maybe that’s why I’m so mentally exhausted ALL the time anymore

I've been in bed for over 3 hours. It's now 3:26am. I can put my phone down and go to sleep as one should but I don't. I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin. AuDHD traits. I like it while the world is quite and I don't feels others energy. This is my recharging time.

something I haven't heard a lot of people with autism and ADHD talk about is how before we go to bed we plan out the next day in exact detail and then we wake up the next morning and immediately either forget or completely scrap the plan
