Five ways to improve sleep with ADHD
Better sleep means better focus, energy, and mood during the day!
Sleep struggles like racing thoughts, restlessness, or delayed sleep phase, are common with ADHD, but building a calming nighttime routine can help.
Set a consistent bedtime and wake-up time (even on weekends!)
Begin winding down at least 30 minutes before bed with relaxing activities like reading, journaling, or gentle stretching.
Avoid screens during this time—blue light can disrupt melatonin production.
Use apps like Calm, Insight Timer or Headspace for guided sleep meditations and relaxing soundscapes.
A white noise machine or weighted blanket can also provide comfort and reduce sensory overload.
