Sleep disturbances are common in ADHD, affecting both children and adults. Understanding the connection between ADHD and sleep can help you develop effective strategies for better rest and improved overall well-being.


The ADHD-Sleep Connection

People with ADHD often experience difficulties with sleep initiation, sleep maintenance, and sleep quality. This can be due to hyperactivity, racing thoughts, or side effects from ADHD medications.


Creating a Calming Environment

Establish a quiet, comfortable sleep environment that minimizes distractions. This is especially important for individuals with ADHD who may be more sensitive to environmental stimuli.


Consistent Routines

Structured bedtime routines can be particularly beneficial for people with ADHD. Consistency helps train the brain to recognize when it's time to sleep.
