Strategies to help get to sleep might be good

Elisabeth Westner

I feel this sooooooo hard. I was never ever ever a morning person. Standard advice was always that if you wanted to start regularly getting up early you can just start getting up earlier and over the course of a couple of weeks your body would totally adjust. I had a 2-hr morning commute for 7 months and not once did I ever adjust. I'd wake up and get myself out the door and immediately fall asleep on the hour-long train ride. I had insomnia for over a decade, did not get more than 10 nights of uninterrupted sleep in that time. Finally saw a sleep doc, was not diagnosed with anything, but he prescribed trazodone and it was life changing. I can make it through the day without falling asleep at my desk! I was home the first weekend after I'd started taking it and it wasn't until about 6 pm that I realized that was the first time in forever I had made it through a weekend without needing a nap. I really appreciate when you said that practicing sleep hygiene doesn't really work for us ADHDers. I tried good sleep hygiene for years and it never made a difference.

Hahahaha classic Jessica. I literally had the conversation about my sleep being bad for the past months with my partner this morning. Then this dropped.

I started medication about 2 months ago, but due to anxiety disorder, I've been switching to try different kinds and also a way smaller dosage the doctor advised. I sort of found the "right dosage" for now, but lately, I come home from my job beginning of the night, I crash.. I need to ly down.. I fall "a sleep", 4 /5 hours later I wake up and that's that.... Durinng the day I crash again, and when that's during the job, it ain't nice. So my sleeping pattern is totally lost now... Whiel before the medicate, I was halve a night awake and then I just slept 8 hours and all was fine... If this keeps going, it will break me (It wont come that far, but pff) Im not taking medication daily anymore, just when I think it will do me well. For the rest I have Cognitive Therapy witch is great (How to "Agenda and plan").
