#sleep suggestions

[velvet-thirst]

Waking up to the sight of you peacefully sleeping, no matter how graceless, will always make me smile and think about how much I adore you.

suggestions if you’re struggling to sleep...

hey fellow autistics! i know trying to get enough sleep can be super rough. and that could be because of sensory overloads, anxiety, or just about anything, but here’s a list that will hopefully be helpful to you. 

play relaxing music. ludvico einaudi’s music is a suggestion [here] [here] and [here] are some examples

make yourself some decaffinated tea/coffee or hot chocolate, relax and watch something you enjoy, play videogames, or just sit in the silence

if you’re arty, draw something! [here] is a website dedicated to giving you art prompts if you haven’t got any idea yet

take a bath or shower. it doesn’t need to be anything lavish, just chill and let your muscles relax under the warm water

make a to-do list for the next day

write out that important email outline and save it in drafts for the next day

pack your bag the night before or leave everything on your desk to shove in your bag the next morning

read a book you like (try not to stay up all night reading it!)

if it helps, set an alarm for an hour before you want to go to bed and start getting ready to go to bed by then

if you can’ t sleep and it’s been hours, don’t feel guilty about going back on your phone or picking up your book again. maybe reading something/watching videos will kickstart your tiredness again

if you’re looking going to be awake for a while and want to watch videos with facts that might interest you but not long documentaries, you could try vsauce, kurzgesagt or crashcourse on youtube

have a snack! (soup and/or toast is always a good option if you don’t mind the texture) and stay hydrated!

chat to your friend if you’re both awake

feel free to add more!

Sleepless nights all tracing back to you, dearest.

For insomnia

Download Real Binaural, listen to it when you're ready to sleep. Very helpful!

Or there's audio "hypnosis" programs that help train your brain to relax so that you can sleep.

I've tried both and when I put one of these on at bedtime, I am asleep in 10-15 minutes. 😴

Thank you, anon! That’s definitely worth trying.
