Hi all. I'm interested to know how many of us have a serious sleep issue. So far I haven't found much of a unifying thread between aphantasics, other than that we're very familiar with what the back of our eyelids look like! But one common thing I have heard over the years is a sleep issue.

I have chronic insomnia. Interested to hear back from others.

I have aphantasia and am plagued with sleep issues. Doesn't matter when I go to bed...I'm lucky to get 5 hours. I tell all my friends and celebrate when it's part 7. I wish I was joking lol
