INSIGHT

ADHD Sleep Struggles Are Common

  • ADHDers often struggle with sleep more than neurotypicals and feel abnormal about it.
  • Recognizing commonality reduces shame and reframes sleep struggles as typical, not personal failure.
ADVICE

Ask Why You Avoid Bedtime

  • Ask your brain why you avoid going to bed and notice patterns like transitions, shame, or losing track of time.
  • Use that awareness to target specific traps instead of staying confused and spinning.
ADVICE

Decide You’ve Done Enough

  • Decide you got enough done today and set a hard cutoff for work to permit relaxation.
  • Naming a cutoff (Kristen uses 8pm for thinking, 10pm for chores) makes stopping easier.
