I have ADHD, and when it's time for bed, my brain sometimes goes on adventures and sidequests I have zero control over. It starts planning funeral speeches that hopefully won't be relevant in the next 40 years. At the same time, it is planning to build a new dining table from scratch, while looping the chorus, and ONLY the chorus, from "Nightfever" by the BeeGees.As you may understand, I have to be really strict with my bedtime routine. Through a lifetime of trial and error, I have learned what works and what does not work. Sometimes white noise is a lifesaver, other times my brain turns it into a clubmix. However, when I create a calming atmosphere around me, and I have a few different tools on hand, to help me unwind, I can fall asleep within a reasonable time every night. I hope you can find something to help you here! 🔗 ***In some of the descriptions I have linked to research papers, to help you gain some knowledge about your sleep.***🔗

Next, incorporating some supplements known to promote relaxation, like magnesium or melatonin, can gently nudge you towards dreamland.

By putting these pieces together, you're setting yourself up for a cozy and restful night's sleep. Sweet dreams!
