I just realized this might be why it feels so wrong when I try to sleep without hugging something.
@stephaniebarrows54284 ай бұрын
Me, too! I slept the best when I had 3 cats. One would crawl into the covers with me and then purr after I hugged her like a teddy bear. Her sister would rouse me in the morning if I stayed in bed longer than usual. The Siamese (my “baby”) would wait until I was up to beg for attention (b/c her sleeping on my neck - as a kitten - had not produced the results either of us wanted). So, I was always giving and receiving attention, and - now that I think of it - physical pressure and feedback. Martial arts, meditation and energy awareness training - plus swimming and weight lifting/spinning/biking - all helped to regulate my stress, anger & fruition in grad school. However, I recall feeling tired all the time. I slept in my friend’s car every time we went on a road trip. Now that I’m 20 years older, bored and no longer exercising like I did - and have no cats or regular social interactions like I did in the dojo and school - it’s no wonder I feel lonely, sad and out of shape.

One of my pups sleeps on his cushion by my head, and the other tends to crawl up in my arms like a teddy bear-all while my feet or hand are touching my husband. I’m a veteran, and I often have nightmares. One of my pups always wake me up.

I have a slightly different version of trex arms I call bat wings, I cross them at the halfway point of my forearm in a way that reminds me of a bat. Also def recommend doing that with a blanket end in each hand, it’s super comforting and just the right level of feeling wrapped in the blanket without being too snug or too loose around the shoulders

Okay. This hit home.

Not Neurotypical. I've always been like this, and I never thought much of it, except for recognizing that I sleep poorly or not at all if I have to go without a decent heavy blanket or my plush (or both). And I've heard how others dont use blankets at all, no need for medicine, no plush to hug.. and it just blows my mind! I really needed to see this.. thank you. I'm learning more and more that I am different from others, but its not upsetting. I'm just glad to be comfortable in my own body. (:

i think there is also a factor of many neurodivergents being hypermobile, which makes it difficult to find a sleeping position that isn't hurting. Having plushies or pillows to prop body parts against and on helps when during sleep we are getting "too loose" so end up hurting ourselves. weighted blanket sensation can also help with not feeling pain as much and not moving around so much.

Both my mom and I sleep with our wrists bent under our chins. I also sleep with a throw blanket that I've had since I was a kid because hugging it is extremely comforting. I'm slowly realizing my mom and I could, at the very least, have ADD or ADHD or possibly even autism. It's something that runs in families and I know for sure that my other immediate family members also have similar behaviors to us and we're all dyslexic. Since I'm a woman I know my neuro divergence typically goes unnoticed and I could have gone undiagnosed. My mom wasn't diagnosed with dyslexia until long after her younger brother was diagnosed with it. It makes me wonder what else people might have missed when it comes to us simply because we aren't male
