Hey all, I have ADHD and insomnia! I’ve tried some things, but, I’m really hoping someone has advice on how to keep a schedule. I always end up slipping around until I have to do some kind of grueling “all-dayer” or something to put myself back on track.
Thoughts? Tricks? Wisdom? I’m all ears.
After having chronic insomnia from my literal earliest memories, I can assure you that you already know all the “tricks” if you’ve done any research at all. There are no real tricks for chronic insomnia, only lifestyle changes which help over the long term. I so desperately wish it wasn’t the case, but you need good physical and mental health to have good sleep. Sleep apnea can be fixed pretty quickly if that’s the problem, otherwise therapy, exercise, and sunshine for a year or two is your best bet.
