       I was just watching a video in which a self described neurotypical person said that when he falls asleep his brain just slows down like his body, and then just stops...I had never thought about this that I can recall... But, like... Their brains can just not?I can't imagine what it would be like to have a moment when my brain wasn't doing SOMETHING. If I don't have something to think about, it'll find something.

       So, NTs have a NOP instruction that ours don't?

       @minego@pdx.social yeah it's wacky. It takes me an hour or more to fall asleep, and there's no way for me to just "go to bed early" and have that work. My brain flat out does not allow it. My mom was surprised af when I told her how long it takes me.

       @remilia Same! Even when I was a little kid, my brain was always spinning on something. Always. Every moment. Never a single pause.

       @remilia @minego I usually fall asleep quickly because I don't get into bed until I'm ready, but I have about a 5 minute window and if anything (weird noise, question from my SO, forgot to turn the volume off on my phone) *anything* turns my brain back on, I have to get up and start the entire process over again."Slow" has never described that process. "Light switch" has been used frequently. 😊
