ADHD and Sleep: Why Your Brain Stays Awake
It is 2 AM and your mind is racing. You want to sleep but your brain has other plans. This is a common part of life with ADHD. You are not lazy for struggling with rest. Your brain just works on a different clock.
What is it?
ADHD sleep issues are often caused by a delayed internal clock. This means your body does not produce sleep hormones at the usual time. You might feel a burst of energy right when you should be winding down.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The ADHD brain has lower levels of dopamine. This affects your circadian rhythm, which is your body's natural clock. Your pineal gland often releases melatonin much later than it does for other people. This creates a sleep phase delay that makes nighttime feel like your peak productivity hour.
The Action Plan

A cool room tells your brain it is time for rest.
