  OK, so autism and sleeping difficulties.
• 0:38
  Now, girls on the autism spectrum are no exception to
• 0:41
  this rule. Autism comes with a bunch of
• 0:43
  other stuff. Autism creates the ability for
• 0:45
  your mind to run at 1000 miles an hour.
• 0:46
  If your mind is going at 1000 miles an hour, how on earth are
• 0:49
  you ever going to keep up right now if you're not able to keep
• 0:51
  up with your mind, if you're not able to do those things where
• 0:54
  you feel like, oh, I can do this now to relax, I can do that to
• 0:57
  to stay awake, you know, all of those things encompassed in a
• 1:02
  specific environment cause emotional deregulation and also
• 1:07
  sleeping issues. And what I mean by this is very,
• 1:08
  very simple. If you're a female on the autism
• 1:10
  spectrum and you are trying to be the most productive in your
• 1:13
  day, you're going around your day and you are just killing it.
• 1:16
  You do all these tasks, your mind is active and you're
• 1:17
  keeping that dopamine high, just going through his task and he
• 1:21
  must do all the list news, all these hackings and these apps to
• 1:23
  get through everything. Now the end of the night, you
• 1:26
  close your eyes and try to sleep.
• 1:26
  It's not going to happen. You would just spend the entire
• 1:29
  day kicking ass. And now you're like, OK brain,
• 1:32
  calm down, doesn't happen. You need to create an
• 1:35
  environment where you start to calm yourself down in order to
• 1:38
  that you can then go to sleep. You know, it's kind of like
• 1:41
  saying it's like having an airplane stopping midair.
• 1:44
  So that's going to happen. Airplane.
• 1:45
  It has momentum. It's going to have to slow down
• 1:47
  gradually and unpack. Now, in terms of your brain,
• 1:51
  it's exactly the same. So This is why this is what I'll
• 1:53
  tell you to do. Drink caffeine before bed.
• 1:55
  I know it sounds really, really like opposite, but stimulants
• 1:58
  help the autism brain because it helps increase serotonin levels
• 2:02
  which will learn increase your ability to sleep better.
• 2:05
  I know it sounds crazy. Bear with me.
• 2:07
  So have caffeine before bed. Maybe come see if people call me
• 2:09
  before you go to bed, but create a setting and environment.
• 2:13
  You know, put on candles with dim the lights in your living
• 2:15
  and watch something that's calming.
• 2:16
  Maybe stop television an hour before you want to go to sleep,
• 2:19
  read a book or something. But nothing that's going to be
• 2:22
  too exciting. All of these things is designed
• 2:25
  to help you go, OK, I'm, I'm entering slumber period and I'm
• 2:28
  going to go to bed and I'm going to have a good rest.
