If I don't overshoot my planned sleeping time by 1 hour doomscrolling, I'm usually sick. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm autistic and I'm the same but for me it's less about going a minute without stimulation, more about not wanting to be alone with my thoughts because they're constant and horrible at best.

Without my tv and pc always on around me (and weed) I don't think I could sleep at all (pc to scroll/read till my eyes get sleepy, and tv to give my brain external conversation to focus on rather than the one going on in my brain). Even then it's a struggle, but I'm still 100% more likely to get some sleep with these things on, than I am without (I don't consider crying for several hours in either frustration or deep despair until my eyes can't stay open anymore a good enough alternative ¯\(ツ)/¯).

I feel you...

🎶 I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire 🎶
