When your brain won't switch off

Tired all day. Wired all night.

ADHD and sleep struggles go hand in hand — a busy brain, a late dopamine dip, and no off-switch. These tools help you wind down and protect the rest your brain needs.

The science

ADHD brains run on a delayed clock

Many ADHD adults have a later circadian rhythm and a brain that gets its 'second wind' right at bedtime. Add racing thoughts and revenge bedtime procrastination, and sleep slips away. Gentle, consistent cues help your body find the off-ramp.

  • Wind-down routines that start the brain's slow-down
  • Sensory tools: weighted blankets, sound, darkness
  • Screen and stimulation limits before bed
  • A consistent (but forgiving) sleep anchor time
