I’m looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep.

My current trickbook is basically this:

Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting.

I’ve also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work.

Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep.

I’m curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

    I guess it’s called meditation?

    Controlled breathing and then a series of controlled muscle ‘work and release’. By the time I get through stretching everything head-to-toe I’m mostly down.

    I’m often asleep within 5 mins.
