Hypermobility & Sleep: A Bedtime Class

Lovely - Thank You Jeannie! You are such a gift to the EDS community - your energy is wonderful, and so grateful for you for sharing your knowledge and guidance.

This was amazing! Gonna do wake up tomorrow. This was my first time moving with your videos (had saved for a bit and watched for the info) but I canceled plans with friends again tonight after napping all day - and I said enough! Re: not seeking treatment - I have always felt that lacking language to express these issues has been central to me avoiding doctors for this. I think an under-looked variable here is how many autistic and neurodivergent people have hyper mobility related suffering. That’s definitely the case for me. The pain of feeling unseen/unheard is multiplied and it’s in all areas of life, not just medically, so it took me a while to pinpoint the extent to which my breathing and sleep had been messed up. Longer comment because I am excited about this research and thought you might actually be interested 😅

Also I didn’t realize how intensely aggressive my massaging was until I started heeding the “gently, gently” mantra. So definitely keep that part up :) Ty!

Hi. Recently I got a weighted blanket. Wow. It really was a game-changer in helping me sleep better. Perhaps because it signals my muscles they can relax now and not have to hold my body togethers?

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

I love my weighted blanket

Ahhh interesting- I have Narcolepsy (type 1 with cataplexy) which I got wayyy before my diagnosis for my EDS diagnosis which is recent! Be interesting to see if any others are similar such a under developed area of research!

It seems as though I ran a marathon afterslepp time. You found out when I did. Few us Drs are aware .

Yes fatigue is a big part of these conditions
