I understand how you feel. Many adults with ADHD experience sleep disturbances. Have you tried establishing a consistent sleep schedule and creating a calming bedtime routine? This can help regulate your body's internal clock and make it easier to fall asleep.

In addition to a consistent sleep schedule and bedtime routine, some people with ADHD find relief in practicing mindfulness and meditation before bed. This can help quiet the mind and reduce anxiety, making it easier to fall asleep.

It's also worth considering the impact of screen time before bed. The blue light emitted from electronic devices can interfere with your body's production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. Try limiting your screen time in the hours leading up to bedtime and see if that makes a difference.
