It’s no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I’m curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

    • 6-8 hours before bed: no more coffee
    • 3 hours before bed: no more eating
    • 1-2 hours before bed: shower + hot bath
    • until bed: low light (not blue light). No more non-fiction (no news, no work-related, etc.) and no games. Basically, nothing to get the mind/body worked up.
    • bed. No screens or lights. Light music or white noise if needed.

    This works pretty well for me, but sticking to it 100% of the time can be a bit difficult.
