ADHD | Sleep & The Habit That Changes Everything with Síne Dunne
ADHD, Sleep & The Habit That Changes Everything
This is an earlier episode from Corporate to Calm podcast but the conversation is more relevant than ever.
Because if you have ADHD, sleep isn’t optional.
It’s foundational.
In this episode, I sit down with Síne Dunne, founder of Siest Sleep, to talk about the one habit that underpins all others
Rest
Síne's journey began with her own sleep struggles while working at Google. Síne was surviving on five hours a night and feeling the ripple effects of stress, anxiety and exhaustion.
Instead of pushing through or masking burnout, she built a solution.
Why This Matters for ADHD
For neurodivergent brains, poor sleep amplifies
• Emotional dysregulation
• Impulse control issues
• Executive dysfunction
• Rejection sensitivity
• Anxiety spirals
• Dopamine crashes
Sleep is not laziness.
It’s regulation.
Through the Habits Path lens, sleep is a keystone habit. When it improves, everything improves
✨ Focus
✨ Patience
✨ Productivity
✨ Hormonal balance
✨ Nervous system stability
The Product
Síne created the weighted Siest Sleeper ethically made in Dublin and designed to calm the nervous system through deep pressure stimulation.
For ADHD brains that struggle to “switch off,” this kind of sensory support can be powerful.
No complicated system.
Just regulation through comfort.
The Bigger Mission
Síne is now studying Sleep Medicine & Insomnia at the University of Oxford, deepening her understanding of the science behind rest.
Her number one sleep tip?
Know when to ask for help.
Because sleep struggles are not a personal failure. They’re often a stress signal.
If you’re building habits without fixing your sleep, you’re building on sand.
This episode is a reminder
You cannot optimise a dysregulated nervous system.
🎙️ Listen now to learn how to make sleep your most powerful habit.
