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.

Funny, i have one vivid memory of visualizing something as a child as well, i was taking karate, and the teacher was facing us and we were supposed to mirror what he was doing and i vividly remember seeing a 3D model of him in my head turned around, i remember being so excited cause I’ve never had mental images like that, so i told my family and they treated it like a complete non issue.
