E36: ADHD vs Sleep Part 2 - Practical Tips for ADHDers That Need Their Sleep


Listen Later

In this episode, we're back with part two of our discussion on ADHD and sleep. We recap why people with ADHD often struggle with sleep, then dive into practical tips for improving it. From gradual changes to your sleep routine to incorporating relaxation exercises like deep breathing, we cover it all. We emphasise controlling your bedroom environment, creating external cues for sleep, and I give you a simple formula to use as a prompt when working on that sleep.
