Executive function deficits with ADHD create significant barriers to establishing healthy sleep routines, from impulsively starting projects late at night to losing track of time while hyper-focused on activities.

• Start your bedtime routine earlier than neurotypicals - right after dinner
• Prepare everything for tomorrow during your evening routine
• Write down routine steps and set alarms as reminders
• Turn off screens 1-2 hours before bedtime
• Identify your specific bedtime hurdles and experiment with creative solutions
• Maintain consistent sleep schedules even on weekends
• Consider adjusting your schedule to match your natural circadian rhythm if possible
• Create a sleep environment with a good pillow, comfortable mattress, and a dark, quiet, cool room
