Why Are ADHD People More Productive at Night?
The house is quiet. The world is asleep. Suddenly, your brain turns on like a bright lightbulb. You might feel guilty for wasting the day, but now you feel unstoppable. This isn't a flaw in your character. It is a biological reality for many of us.
What is it?
This phenomenon is often caused by a delay in the internal body clock. While most people wind down, the ADHD brain finally finds the peace it needs to function. It is a mix of biology and the relief of having zero outside pressure.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Many people with ADHD have a delayed circadian rhythm. Your brain stays awake because melatonin, the sleep hormone, is released later than average. At night, there are also fewer distractions. This lowers the load on your prefrontal cortex. Without pings, emails, or noises, your brain can finally direct its limited dopamine toward one single goal.
