Hi everyone

Today I wanna talk about sleep since I feel it is not talked about enough. I can of course not speak for everyone but I found some interesting information and have my own experiences as well so let’s start with ADHD sleep

ADHD

The reason I want to meantion ADHD today is because of a recent text I read: Sleep it talks about that people with ADHD having 4 kinds of problems with sleep. 1. Difficulty at falling asleep, 2. Restless sleep, 3. Difficulty at waking up and 4. Intrusive sleep.

I think the 3 first is already know a lot since everyone can have those things I feel while the 4th one is what caught my interest. Intrusive sleep is something that can happen people with ADHD is suddenly bored or lost interest in something so the brain just shots down. Read more at the link and donate to the cause there since it is really good information.

Asperger’s

I have added Asperger’s since even we might not have the 4th one, I come back to that later, I feel we have a 5th thing. Getting drained from having to mask a lot just so we can function in life.

Myself

The link I share me think about me and some of the problems I have. I don’t and never had a sleep problem by going to bed or rather very rarely. But I am having problems with sleep sometimes since I experience the intrusive sleep since even I don’t want to sleep I sometimes just feel asleep and other times I just run out of energy like a battery because of masking I would say. The last thing I have problems with is sometimes waking up from alarm clocks, guess things just requires to much energy from me, which makes it hard for me to wake up again. I am not ashamed to say that I get my mom to call me in the morning when I have stuff like work. Maybe a girlfriend would help me with that if I had one. So I have 3 out of 5 sleep problems.
