ADHD and Sleep

40% of individuals with ADHD experience significant sleep disruptions, often related to genetics.
These disruptions can manifest as difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings, restless sleep, or early rising, resulting in inefficient sleep and daytime fatigue.
People with ADHD often have a delayed diurnal rhythm, with peak alertness occurring 3-4 hours later than neurotypical individuals.
Consider flexible work schedules, self-employment, or work-from-home arrangements to align with your natural peak performance times.
Recognize that relying on caffeine or simply trying harder to fall asleep might not be effective due to the underlying biological differences.
