As someone with ADHD I find it’s a common experience for many that we stay up all night. I’ve fought that in the past but now I kinda feel like I should just accept it. Go to bed late, get up late. However that’s not very conducive to a normal business routine.
How do you all handle your mornings and nights? Is it worth it even to try to change?
The reason I post here on neurodivergence is because, yes I know these things, but also I can’t stick to a habit for more than a week that requires executive function. I will always relapse on exercise, diet, sleep, work, or social life. Idk how people do all 5.
well, breaking old habits…
Try small steps, starting with the most important ones. For me, switching from coffee to tea and using apps, that increase red and decrease blue spectrum on PC, mobile, TV etc. did a great impact.
Getting 15-20 Minutes of sunlight aswell. I started doing groceries bi-daily by foot instead of weekly by car.
I’m pretty sure you can do it (if you don’t have to work late shifts, have small kids, etc.) but it’s not trivial and change comes slowly.
Also, doctors might be able to help with medication if nothing else works. (wouldn’t do it without a doctor since it can make things worse in the long term, appearantly)
I’m off adderall of 20y. Yes it does make things worse in the long term lol.
