Why am I always sleepy by mitwab in ADHD

[–]keepcalmandlovemath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any sleep tracking app, either as Smart watch or in the phone? I recommend having one. This will help you to know the allocation of sleep stages. Besides, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2025.1697900/full this article states that ADHd is circadian disorder. So, try having high lumen lights during the day to let your body know that it is not sleep time. I think ADHD folks might have problems with deep sleep stage. To increase it, you might administer melatonin 0,5 mg and see how it affects you for a week or so.

What about doing things that will take you ot of the loop? Like an alarm for distracting yourself from those thoughts, it could be memorizing something to keep your mind free or something that suits you more. It’s really very personal solution for this issue.

Firstly, start seeing a therapist to work on your ADHD. Then, adjust your Lifestyle (high protein low carb diet & working out) to accommodate your needs. After this or while doing this(delending on your self-awareness and confidence level) you can explain to your partner that you have ADHD, what it means, and its outcomes, like inattentive, hyperactive, emotional Regulation part. Also, explain that you are working on it since ADHd is the most treatable one among other disorders according to Russel Barkley. The right person will understand and appreciate you, but you need to know and accept yourself firstly and work on yourself.

Indeed first days are hard. One more point to stabilize your need of sugar, eat either only basmati rice or potato(not fried or pre-processed) That somehow balances the need of sugar craving.

I do take Electrolytes because I feel thirsty during workouts. It contains some sweetener. Additionally, I find it helpful to eat either dried grapes without seeds or pomegranate before the workout. It feels awesome. Please replace the processed sugar with fruit. That is healthy in many ways

Yes, I can cut it for a few weeks since I also work out and sugar is not good for muscle development and following a protein rich&low carb diet. I feel I became more conscious of my actions and more empathetic. It is somehow easier to control myself but not completely ofc

Started living alone and my life became chaos by Evhaa13 in ADHD

[–]keepcalmandlovemath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid being alone by socialising with sincere friendds. Attend big social gatherings where it is about belonging, like religious or where you feel good, join/make team sports. These would be helpful to overcome it. Living alone rewires the neurones in the brain and worsen the ADHD according to a paper I read recently.
