    What's happening with you when you get bored we tell people to stop using screens and coffee specifically because boredom is the goal you might need some medical attention if you can't sleep when bord

      what does boredom have to do with going to sleep? you need to be tired, not bored. if i'm sufficiently tired no amount of entertainment will keep me awake and if i'm not tired them being bored is just going to make my thoughts spin in circles and make me restless.

        I know you got downvoted, but I do have autism and adhd and I feel this in my bones. It’s the opposite of neurotypicals— we actually need the stimulation in order to get to sleep.

          yeah, people just don't even realize they're being ableist unfortunately, as always neurodivergency is not taken seriously.
