What was this thread about?....oh yeah ADHD...support group? 😅

If I don’t do something right away, it’s not getting done until the last minute, or in my case last week, I just said fuck it, I’m too tired and it’s time to have fun! And I was good with it.

As a kid I had a really hard time falling asleep. But masturbation usually helped

IDK if it’s ADHD related but I have awful insomnia. I have to take Gabapentin, melatonin, and cannabis edibles to get me to sleep. The cannabis has to be indica. Sativa or the hybrids keep me up.

I’m dealing with so much and ADHD. Melatonin, Ambien have helped but meditation is my go to and just clear my mind.

The ability to get to sleep has never been an issue at all. Truth is, I'm a fucker for falling asleep when it's not really appropriate. I can have a 15 minute cat nap almost on demand. However, my issue is staying asleep. I work shifts so my sleep pattern is all over the show. 5-6 hours is good for me. I finished work at 2am this morning, got into bed at about 3am, was awake at 7am (this is probably why I can cap nap so easy )

On normal sleep nights, If I have something exciting going on in my life, my brain gets me up at ridiculous times because it wants to function, as I get older my body doesn't always feel the same.

I don't really try and fight with the sleep issue, I kind of embrace it, learn to live with it; I get shit loads done with my time nowadays.....now that I meditate and prioritise better than when I was younger.

I'm not sure that ADHD is the only thing that affects my sleep, but I definitely have trouble sleeping when I should. Sleeping at 11 am or 3 pm? No problem. I could sleep all day, just not always all night :/

One of the things that has helped the most, besides melatonin, is making sure to get up at the same time every day. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed or fall asleep, but I have to get up at the same time. Then I can go back to bed after I've been up for an hour or two, if I really need to.

As for getting to sleep... I'm still working on something that works consistently. Melatonin works sometimes. ASMR works sometimes. I haven't tried cannabis or CBT yet, but I plan to.

That's very interesting you brought that up bc I started masturbating at a younger age bc I realized doing so helped me go to sleep

There's a lot of info that adhd does affect sleep. I'm sure is not the only contributor but it makes so much sense.

I hate ppl who fall asleep fast. Its a whole damn process for me!

I know i psyche myself out which makes it worse. Although i try to embrace it too im just not very good at it

I try the waking up at the same time but on bad nights i feel really shitty if i didn't sleep at least 5 hrs!

Same here. Can’t tell you how many times as a kid I fell asleep with the lights on, it’s 3 AM and my hand is covered in dry cum!

I think my sleep issues are more related to age than ADD issues.

But also thinking about how you should be doing something all day should count for something

I saw this...but then I remembered I had to answer text...and in the middle of it I remembered I had to search for something, and I did that and then answered the text and sent another one with what I searched for. Later when I opened tiktok again it was still there
