ADHD & Sleep Problems
Ah, the wild world of ADHD and sleep—where counting sheep feels more like herding cats. Picture this: 50-75% of adults with ADHD are like nocturnal ninjas, battling insomnia and other sleep snags like champions. Forget about snoozing peacefully through the night; if you’ve got ADHD, your sleep schedule is more unpredictable than a reality TV plot twist.
In the ADHD sleep saga, adolescence is just the warm-up act. As you mature, your sleep woes become more dramatic, like a soap opera cliffhanger. Studies even suggest that sleep deprivation in ADHD is like throwing a wild party where all your adult symptoms show up uninvited and refuse to leave.
