Weird question for my first poll. Do other sighted people occasionally do rote activites in the pitch dark, such as going to the bathroom and washing your hands?

I do and I’m wondering if it’s a reflexive way to reduce stimuli. If I don’t need to see for a task, take a break from all that visual input.

Do you ever do rote activies (i.e. going to the bathroom) in the complete dark?

Yes, and I am neurotypical.

No, and I am neurotypical.

Yes, and I have autism and/or adhd.

No, and I have autism and/or adhd.

Yes, and I am neurodivergent in another way.

No, and I am neurodivergent in another way.

I am blind or just want the results.

Curious about this one. we do rote tasks in the dark routinely and never considered that it might not be neurotypical.
