Did you know that up to 50% of people with ADHD struggle with chronic sleep issues? Whether it’s difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling refreshed, sleep problems can amplify ADHD symptoms and make daily life even harder. Understanding this connection is key to improving both sleep quality and ADHD management.
The ADHD-Sleep Connection
Sleep challenges in ADHD often stem from the brain’s difficulty regulating alertness and focus. Common issues include:
