 autistic people have trouble falling asleep, taking an average of 11 minutes longer than a neurotypical person does. 11 minutes? I would have guessed it's even more than that. I do have some good theories about sleep. We just watched a video on autism and monotropism, obviously transitioning into sleepy time is going to take a bit longer. There's also those inter-receptive difficulties, you know, struggling to stay hydrated, eat. Sleep, I feel, is another one of those senses. The only time that I tell that I'm feeling sleepy, I immediately touch my head to the pillow and I fall asleep.
