“Today’s episode explores the challenges of sleep disorders in autistic individuals, particularly night terrors. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, shares their personal journey to find effective sleep solutions after struggling with traditional medical approaches and adverse side effects. They discuss the importance of understanding the “why” behind sleep problems, rather than just focusing on the “what.” Dr. Hoerricks outlines a specific dietary and lifestyle approach centered on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet with intermittent fasting. This dietary shift, along with exploring liminal dreaming, helped manage anxiety, GI issues, and ultimately improve sleep quality. They conclude by acknowledging the privilege of accessing resources and sharing their experiences to aid others in their own quests for better sleep.”
