Understanding Sleep Challenges for Adults with ADHD
Poor sleep can significantly exacerbate the challenges faced by adults with ADHD, impacting their executive functions like focus, working memory, and task planning. Those already struggling with such issues find their performance further compromised by inadequate sleep, leading to a cycle of reduced energy and heightened anxiety. When sleep deprivation occurs, individuals with ADHD work with a diminished capacity, worsening their overall productivity and well-being. Recognizing this connection is essential for creating effective strategies to manage ADHD symptoms and improve sleep quality.
