ADHD and Sleep Struggles
Briefly

ADHD poses unique challenges to sleep, affecting the brain's ability to regulate arousal and attention, leading to difficulties falling and staying asleep. Symptoms like racing thoughts, energy surges at night, and inconsistent sleep schedules are commonplace. Approximately 25-50% of individuals with ADHD encounter sleep issues. Implementing practical strategies such as establishing a consistent sleep-wake cycle, minimizing caffeine and technology use before bedtime, and maintaining a calming bedtime routine can improve overall sleep hygiene, making it possible to wake up feeling rejuvenated despite ADHD-related sleep struggles.
With the right strategies, you can wake up feeling refreshed and recharged, even when your mind refuses to quiet down.
ADHD affects the brain's ability to regulate attention, impulse control, and executive functioning, which play a big role in sleep regulation.
