Hey all,

Last year I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while I’ve been making a habit of keeping medicated, I still find myself at times getting too distracted to keep me from getting important stuff done. The most infuriating thing I’m currently dealing with is my troubles in creating a consistent sleep schedule, where I have a sleep schedule that works set out, but find myself getting too distracted and staying up unreasonably late as a result.

Unfortunately I had to swap to Windows recently, so looking for suggestions that can run on Windows 10. The harder to ignore, the better. Thanks in advance!

Do something that makes your brain tired an hour before needing to sleep, I read the less light stuff and it works, theres always more stuff on the computer, outside of forcing it turn off and the inconvienence of turning it back on idk, most alerts telling me to sleep or stop make me more awake and into what im doing personally lol, a straight up crash or shutdown puts me to sleep, if you have a set sleep time you can always ask ai to make you a .bat file to auto shutoff your pc at that time, or have one that auto shutsoff in x minutes and set x to whatever you feel like that day.

I’ve found playing solitaire on my phone is just the right amount of stimulation to keep me engaged, but repetitive enough to put me to sleep after maybe 2 or 3 deals, at most. Often it’s only half way through a single hand.

I’ve started just thinking of compound words repeatedly until sleep takes me. I’ve been using “stop-cock” recently because it’s funny. Puts me and my mildly adhd ass to sleep like before I had responsibilities to stress about.
