I'm 38/M and my journey with my stutter has essentially followed the arc of radical self acceptance over the course of my life. I say arc because there are still days, weeks, periods, etc where I noti...

I'm the same, of I'm just tired (not many good night's sleep) I stutter more. However, if this prolongs or I end up staying up for more than 24 hours I do not stutter at all until I sleep some. Almost...

It's strange. Usually you breathe badly in exhaustion and it leads to even more stutter...

I'm very careful to not sleep too much or little when I need to speak a lot the next day...

The only thing I can think of is since my brain has less energy it doesn’t spend any of it on “worrying” about stuttering so I don’t carry any of that tension anticipating to stutter....

Me too, when I wake up early the first 15/ 30 minutes i talk fluently however this vanishes after I fully wake up. Or on late night when i am very tired i speak fluently with most people around me...

I just realized I don’t stutter at all when I’m exhausted

I just realized I don’t stutter at all when I’m exhausted Does anyone else on this sub not stutter when they’re really tired? I didn’t think of this until yesterday when I was sleep deprived by 7 hour...

I had a speech therapist a couple years back and they taught me techniques I already knew and used. Maybe I should've kept going longer but they didn't seem to have much else to provide. That was duri...

Same here. I wondered why. It may be because we are comfortable around our significant others or excitement. Im not too sure...

Is there something that happens this one day a week? Less/more sleep? A different environment? Change in routine? Humans live by routine so it could be caused by upsetting your routine, even if it’s...

Do you experience extreme breathing difficulties due to stuttering as well?

Do you experience extreme breathing difficulties due to stuttering as well? My worst stutters happen when I've exhaled almost completely in an effort to finish sentences quickly before stuttering (or ...

It’d be great for you to find a better job, for sure. Hopefully you can find something that lets you have breaks between talking, because it’s been really helpful for my throat tension. Just a few l...

I don't often get a break between calls, if I do it's a few seconds unless we're on hold to someone. Its call after call for me, which isn't bad but its nice to get a break in there too. I get what y...

Besides, minimising alcohol intake is helpful. Caffeine kick in the morning can also help, as does quality sleep and diet. Work/life balance also important ie stress management....

Yeah, I’m in a windowless job where I constantly talk too and it’s rough on your voice. I think I’ve given you the habits that I got from a SLP who specializes in dysfluency and is also a PWS. Th...

Im not sick. I work in a call centre for 8h 45mins for 5 days a week. There is zero fresh air in the call centre, doors remain closed and so do the windows. The ac is constantly on and my mouth and th...

Are you sick - sore throat, extra mucous, post nasal drip? That always throws me way off. Most “techniques” that do not address the root problem will briefly work and then mysteriously stop. Devel...

Listen to this medical SLP who is aware that there’s a difference between training SLP’s receive (main ones are medical focus, articulation focus and dysfluency focus). Tim Mackesey is SLP who spec...

I have searched a little bit on PubMed , research show low ATP production in the speech area , less blood flow. That's why cardio and strength training work. Also what therapy have you tried? Benfo...
