ANECDOTE

Sleep Deprivation Impairs Executive Function

  • Eric Tivers logged his sleep and executive function for 45 days to study the link.
  • When he got less than six hours, symptoms were impaired for three days.
ADVICE

Use Location-Based Alarms

  • Use the app FreakyAlarm that forces you to be at a location and solve math to turn off the alarm.
  • This helps with ADHD by creating a point of performance where you must stop and act.
ADVICE

Limit Screen Time Before Bed

  • Turn off all screens at least 60 to 90 minutes before bedtime to allow melatonin production.
  • If not possible, dim brightness to the lowest level you can still see.
