Struggling to Snooze? The Connection Between Sleep and ADHD
Top Replies
Absolutely, there's a well-documented link between ADHD and sleep issues. Many people with ADHD have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep due to overactive brains and difficulties winding down. Establishing a consistent bedtime routine, incorporating relaxation techniques, and creating a calm sleep environment can all help improve sleep quality.
I've found that avoiding screens for a couple of hours before bedtime and engaging in calming activities like reading or meditation can significantly improve sleep. Also, keeping a sleep diary to track your sleep patterns and identify potential triggers for sleep disturbances can be beneficial. #ADHDFocusChallenges #BehavioralHealth
That's really interesting, thank you! I've also heard that maintaining a regular exercise routine during the day can help promote better sleep at night. I'll definitely give some of these strategies a try and see how they work for me. #ADHDSleepTroubles #MentalHealth
