I don’t want to be negative Nancy here, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s terrible at sleeping. I get around 3–6 hours a day. Six hours is enough, but that’s not every day. How do you manage your sleep? Does ADHD medication help or worsen it? And maybe you have a great tip for not thinking too much at night? (or something else)
Depends on the night. If I’ve exercised at least 30min that day, it definitely helps. Or if I take melatonin (I use the gradual release one), I find I sleep much much better. For me, ADHD med helps me have reduced restless legs syndrome and less restlessness before and during my sleep. This isn’t the case for everyone though - the doctor and psychiatrist were surprised when I said prolonged release of ritalin (concerta) helped me.
What helps me is putting phone away by 9pm, getting into bed reading a book and take supplements (magnesium, zinc, tryptophan & ashwaghada). The combo of these 3 is a game changer for me.
I do but it’s because of my sleep meds
I am on meds called Trittico. It is form of antidepressants. I take one before sleep and sleep like a baby every night. Without them I would not sleep at all...
