Improving my #Sleep #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AspergersSyndrome

After seeing a post from Arianna Huffington on (of all places) LinkedIn, I decided to charge all my devices (not just my phone) outside of my room to improve my sleep. It’s made a difference and nowadays, I open my eyes about fifteen minutes (at best) before my normal wakeup time.

#Sleep Talking #Sleep Acting Out

I do both! Not often, though I’m not so sure I would know! I sleep alone (well my kitty nearby) and generally awaken in the same position I fell asleep in. But times when I stayed with my daughter’s family & grands, I’d doze off in the middle of a movie and begin acting out and speaking my dreams in character out-loud! Not nightmares. I also did this when married. Never got up or walked around. Thank heavens someone was there to gently wake me up. Very vivid dreams! Always so colorful and symbolic!Often giving me problem-solving answers!Strange realm! 👁️😵‍💫!

Welcome to #november 2023

Hey Friends. How are you today?

I am at work at the moment and I'm about to head home soon. However, I wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you. I #Care about you, too. I know that this group is not as large as many others, but I just want you to know that this is a place where you can #Talk and say #Whatever your heart needs to say. Just remember to be loving and kind when you say it.

Sometimes we #struggle to deal with things like #Anxiety disorders, or #panic disorders. For me, I have both. These types of things hit me at night when I least expect it. I want things to get better for my job life, and I feel like it will help me with my #Anxiety and make it so that I feel more #proud of myself or that I can #accomplish something. #MentalHealth is so important to keep on the front of my mind when it comes to working. One of the major things I hope to do in the near future is have my own business, but I need the help, the love, and support of those around me in order for me to do what it is that I need to do and function.

Lets #Pray that tonight I do not have to deal with an #AnxietyAttack and that I can #Sleep peacefully. Please share your thoughts with me!

anxiety x chronic thirst and sleep disturbance update

I've passed a period of relatively minor stress and my thirst had seemed to be gone.
It lasted months.

Now I have many fonts of stress and the thirst came back and with it high sleep disturbance.

I can't sleep properly, I'm always thirsty, I have tons of nightmares and can never rest.

I'm tired. Very tired.
I don't feel well at all.

My previous doctor suggested it might be due to anxiety and now I'm beginning to think she was right.

Now I have to think of a strategy to lessen this symptom because I really hate it.
