You're not imagining it. The reason you feel like the world is “too much” by the afternoon might have as much for do with your nervous system as your to-do list.
In this episode, we break down two original studies showing how ADHD adults process light, sound, and touch differently—and why your brain might not even realize it’s overwhelmed until it’s too late.
What we cover:
- The study that literally zapped people’s arms to test tactile sensitivity (yes, really)
- Why ADHD brains skip the “heads-up” signal neurotypical brains use to handle stress
- What happens when noise and lighting quietly drain your executive function
- How to spot the signs of hidden overstimulation before you hit burnout
