How well do you guys sleep? My current sleep schedule is the worst it has ever been and I’m not sure how I should go about fixing it.

    My ADHD messes my sleep schedule big time, like needing one hour minimum since I go to bed to get asleep, sleeping for 4 or 5 hours, and not being tired at all.

    That’s why I’m taking melatonin pills (doctor recommendation). Since then, I’m sleeping like a neurotypical.

    I’ve found that I need 4 things to wake up consistently

    1. Wake up early, it helps if you’re forced to, work meetings, class, meet up, whatever you need
    2. No naps, and getting up at the same time consistently
    3. Manage my stress, a combination of working out consistently and managing work stress
    4. Good sleep hygiene, if I’m exhausted but hit a good part in a book I’ll stay up. So it’s boring books, blue light blocking on devices, and grey scale and low brightness on my phone

    Honestly having a kid and a job helped a bunch. Ultimately you’ll get up if you need to.

    Absolutely terrible, honestly. Usually sleep from around 6am-2pm or so. I’m a big night owl in general, but my ideal would be around 2-3am to 10-11am.

    I go to sleep around 11:00 to 12:30 PM and wake up 6:00 AM if it is a weekday, otherwise around 8:00 AM.

      The is the way.

      It’s early enough to not be a shock getting up earlier, but late enough to not feel bad for staying up late on the weekend.
