The Crucial Role of Sleep for High Achievers with ADHD

In this episode of the Mindful Mutiny ADHD series, we discuss the pivotal importance of sleep for individuals with ADHD. We explore the unique challenges they face in achieving and maintaining good sleep, such as a dysregulated circadian rhythm, hyperactive racing thoughts, and anxiety. Jeremy provides practical strategies to improve sleep quality, including maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, using weighted blankets, and employing brain dump techniques. He also highlights the negative impact of poor sleep on focus, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and physical health.
