Hi all. I’m interested to know how many of us have a serious sleep issue. So far I haven’t found much of a unifying thread between aphantasics, other than that we’re very familiar with what the back of our eyelids look like! But one common thing I have heard over the years is a sleep issue.
I have chronic insomnia. Interested to hear back from others.
Melatonin definitely does have a bit of a ‘drag’ in the mornings (at least, does for me), but you’re right it’s nowhere near the level of “urrrggghhhh” I felt after sleep tablets. Also don’t seem to wake up with ye olde ‘Ghandi’s flip-flops taste’ mouth with melatonin.
And yeah anxiety about falling asleep preventing falling asleep is horribly ironic isn’t it!
