🌙 The Autistic Guide to Sleep: Calming Your Hyperactive Neural Network
Let's get real about sleep when your brain seems hardwired to process every fucking detail of existence at 3 AM. Because quality rest isn't a luxury – it's critical system maintenance.
Your Sleep Optimization Protocol:
- Create a sensory-safe sleep environment
- Control light levels (blackout curtains aren't optional)
- Manage sound (white noise machines are your friend)
- Regulate temperature (cool room, warm body)
- Use weighted blankets for system regulation
Pre-Sleep Shutdown Sequence:
- Dim lights 2 hours before bed
- Cut screen exposure or use heavy filters
- Establish consistent routines
- Allow wind-down stimming
- Permit natural decompression
Stop feeling guilty about your sleep needs. Your brain processes more information in a day than most people handle in a week. You need proper shutdown time.
Remember: Your sleep requirements aren't "high maintenance" – they're necessary operating parameters for your high-performance processing system.
Because quality rest isn't lazy – it's essential fucking maintenance for your unique neural network.
