Struggling to fall asleep quickly is a common challenge for individuals with ADHD. That’s why we’ve developed this quick & simple 7-step guide to help you fall asleep faster! #ADHD #ADHDCoach #Wellness #SleepTips #ADHDSleep #ADHDManagement

ADHD isn’t just about struggling to focus—it’s about having a brain that works differently. Just like glasses help sharpen vision, ADHD strategies help bring focus and clarity. It’s time to move beyond the advice of ‘just try harder’ and embrace real understanding and support. ADHD brains thrive on creativity, innovation, and spontaneity—but without the right tools, that brilliance can feel like chaos. Let’s change the conversation together. #ADHDAwareness #EmbraceDifferentBrains

A 2024 study found that people with ADHD experience less deep sleep and more light, disrupted sleep—and this can create an exhausting cycle that’s tough to break. Here’s why: ?? Disruptive Sleep – The ADHD brain struggles with sleep onset and staying asleep, leading to less slow-wave sleep (deep, restorative sleep). ?? An Exhausted Brain – Without deep sleep, memory, focus, and emotional regulation suffer, making it harder to manage ADHD symptoms. ?? Worsened ADHD Symptoms – With an exhausted brain, the chances for increased brain fog, impulsivity, and executive dysfunction heightened which can then make daily tasks feel more overwhelming. ?? Increased Stress – And due to the overwhelming weight of these daily tasks, higher cortisol levels and racing thoughts increase, making it even harder to fall and stay asleep after a long day. ?? And the cycle repeats… ???? The good news? Small, intentional changes can help disrupt this cycle and improve both ADHD symptoms and sleep quality.

A 2024 study by Dr. Jessica Lunsford-Avery explored the sleep and neurocognitive function of 62 adolescents—31 with ADHD and 31 without. The findings highlight a critical link between ADHD and sleep disturbances that could impact cognitive function and daily performance. Here are some of the key takeaways: ??Less Deep Sleep – Adolescents with ADHD had a lower percentage of slow-wave sleep (SWS), the deep, restorative stage needed for recovery and memory consolidation. ? More Light Sleep – Instead of deep sleep, ADHD participants experienced more Stage 2 sleep and higher sigma power during non-REM sleep—suggesting fragmented, less restorative rest. ??Cognitive Impact – These sleep disruptions were linked to poorer neurocognitive performance, meaning sleep disturbances could worsen ADHD symptoms like focus, memory, and emotional regulation. This study reinforces that ADHD is not just a daytime challenge—it affects the brain at night too. What are your thoughts?

Owning your ADHD isn’t easy—but it’s powerful. ??? As Brené Brown says, "You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness." When you embrace your ADHD—the good, the bad, and everything in between—you create space for growth, self-acceptance, and deeper connections with others.
