Does anyone get that?
I used to wake up feeling like the glue that held my cells together was getting all liquidy and it took an effort of will to literally "get myself together." Now, knowing I'm an Aspie, this feeling does appear with stress. It is a cue for me to get my makeshift weighted blanket (a heavy quilt I have folded many times) and lie under it. And I look forward to a real weighted blanket arriving next week.
I have improved my sleep with stress-reduction techniques, but this seems to be a particular Autism/Stress thing?
Just trying to figure things out.
