Embracing Cyclical Energy and Sleep Patterns

Cyclical energy is a natural phenomenon for many neurodivergent individuals, influenced by seasonal changes and biological rhythms. Sleep disorders, notably prevalent among those with ADHD and autism, can complicate daily functioning and align poorly with societal structures that favor a standard schedule. Awareness of these circadian shifts is vital for cultivating an accommodating environment that aligns with one’s body’s needs. Understanding these dynamics helps in reframing feelings of guilt or shame associated with non-traditional sleep patterns.
