    @kepic currently trying to read and really understand this, because I’ve been experiencing sleeping problems since as long as I (#ActuallyAutistic) can consciously remember.

    Sleep is not the easiest topic in scientific research for a layperson to understand, I’ve just discovered.😅

      There was a lot in there that was new to me, too. The greatest surprise was the connection with sight; I’m overly sensitive to bright light, and have trouble with blue light (nighttime neon signs are horrible). There was a lot I recognized in myself in this.

      @avuko @kepic I drink chamomile green tea before bed.

      From someone that’s had sleeping problems for years.

      It’s hard I know because our autistic brains won’t switch off.

      I’m not saying it’ll work for you, but maybe worth giving it a go.

      It’s helped me.

        green tea is different than chamomile. Green tea actually contains caffeine. I suppose you do take chamomile but I needed to clarify it in case someone goes try green tea without looking it up more.
