What Do You Do When You're Playing the Cards?

Episode 99 with Anne Bartolucci.

“I now look back at some of the stupid things I did when I was younger and think, ‛Oh, that’s why!’ I’m more compassionate with my younger self now, which has been healing.”

Anne is a licensed psychologist, certified behavioral sleep medicine specialist, and the founder and chief psychologist of Atlanta Insomnia & Behavioral Health Services. She is also adjunct faculty at Emory University and enjoys sharing her knowledge as an author, speaker, trainer, and now writing coach. 

When she’s not helping people sleep, Anne is a USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy and steampunk under her not-so-secret pen name Cecilia Dominic

Anne and I talk about what led to her own diagnosis in adulthood. We also discuss her book, Better Sleep for the Overachiever, and we talk about some of the more common sleep issues experienced by adults with ADHD, such as delayed circadian rhythms, restless sleep, and “revenge bedtime procrastination.” 

We also talk about healthy sleep etiquette for adults with ADHD, and the benefits of productive relaxation.
