I have diagnosed autism and I have the same... Problem? I often have to listen to some music after a busy day or a stressful day in order to be able to fall asleep.

Apologies for the late response, and perhaps I need to be tested. 🤔 I just feel like a tea kettle constantly near boiling after a hard day. Some nights, the most I get is 4 hours and the rest of the time I wake up a panicked state. Awake for hours until I have to get up. 🥴

It can't hurt to run a test. It also sounds like you're very stressed :c.

You’re right, I am stressed... A recent family illness isn’t helping, along with having PTSD. When it rains, it pours I guess. 🥴

Wait, is this linked to autism? I'm on the spectrum and thought this was normal, do people not listen to calming music when they sleep??

People usually do not, no. At least that is what my coworkers and friends say!
