Episode 4: Sleepless in St. Augustine
What happens when your mind refuses to slow down? In this deeply personal episode of The Autistic Mile, Jim Gaffney shares the reality of living through sleepless nights as an autistic adult. From racing thoughts and anxiety to the emotional toll of insomnia, Jim opens up about the challenges of finding rest when your brain won't switch off.
Rather than letting those restless hours go to waste, Jim heads to the gym, turning sleepless nights into productive miles on the treadmill. Running becomes more than exercise—it becomes a way to clear his mind, protect his mental health, and transform frustration into forward progress.
If you've ever struggled with sleep, anxiety, or an overactive mind, this episode is a reminder that even life's most difficult moments can be redirected into something positive.
Every mile matters, even the sleepless ones.
