Getting Sleep - ADHD Sleep Revenge

Not getting enough Zzzzzzzzs? We are WIRED but TIRED! Sleep is so hard already and if you have ADHD, ferrgetaboutit! But seriously, there are a few ways to better power down that fun-loving over-working ADHD brains. We are night owls by nature, so you may always go to bed a little later than the average Joe, but let's try to move up our bedtime by five minutes each night until we achieve a midnight (or earlier) bedtime. I need to do this! I am usually pushing 1 AM and then getting up at 8 AM is a big bummer. Set the mood, have low lighting, don't watch stressful news before bed, turn off that phone an hour before (I know, I know, that is harder done than said and I struggle too, but try it!), Use an eye mask or get light-blocking curtains! Buy a luxury pillow and silky cover to make your bed more appealing, don't eat too late and especially no sugar in the evening. Try a magnesium supplement if your doctor is okay with this. Stay calm and sleep on! We all need more sleep. Wishing you a good night! Zzzzzzzzzzzz
