Why Your ADHD Can't Turn Brain Off at Night
You are physically exhausted. You finally lie down to rest. Suddenly, your brain decides it is time to solve every problem you have ever had. It feels like an invisible wall stands between you and sleep.
What is it?
This state is often called 'sleep onset insomnia' or 'racing thoughts.' It is not a sign of being lazy or anxious. It is your brain's unique way of searching for the stimulation it missed during the day.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The ADHD brain has a shortage of dopamine. This chemical helps your prefrontal cortex regulate focus and calm. When the world goes quiet at night, your brain creates its own internal 'noise' to find that missing stimulation. Your internal brakes are simply not as strong as your engine.
