It’s no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I’m curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

I use melatonin, but that usually gives me insomnia after a while when I try to not use it.

Melatonin is probably one of the most misunderstood and misused supplements out there

Care to elaborate? I agree it’s certainly overused. I know I use it wayy to much.

Melatonin doesn’t make you tired. It can impact how your body regulates itself but in and of itself it isn’t a sedative.

I use that, but if something disturbs my sleep, like my partner arriving at 2am after work, having taken melatonin will disrupt the rest of my night.
