Sleep theory
I just wanted to share a theory I had first when I was a teenager and has since reoccured to me due to stress I've had recently over health problems.
Now I don't claim to be sure I know anything about the subjects involved in my theory so if someone want to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about I will have no problem with it...
It occured to me that a number of people (including myself) have sleep problems who happen to be on the Autistic Spectrum, as a teenager it made me wonder if it was possible that maybe we do some form of REM during the day instead of, or prehaps as well as at night.
I seem to do all my processing of information during the day, getting stuck often in mental spirals I can't get out of when I'm stressed, no matter how much I rationalise them. For me it seems like instead of getting everything filed away at night when my consious mind is asleep I'm forced to do it while I'm awake. It becomes a bit like the difference between doing filing in a quiet room (at night) and doing it in the middle of an air siren (daytime.)
My theory is this is why I have to sometimes talk endlessly about thing with out necessarily needing people to listen, I'm trying to streamline the information so that I can in a way focus on other more important things. And that's why I spiral mentally, the brain is forced into have to sort out information while other information is stilll going in.
And that's why I have sleep problems, because I'm doing the job that my brain does at the wrong time.
Thoughts?
