Brain-Calming Movement: Walking uses both sides of your body alternately (left, right), which helps calm the brain. This is called bilateral stimulation, and it’s similar to techniques used to reduce feelings of anxiety common in women with adhd. No Digital Stress: Phones can be overstimulating with notifications and information constantly streaming in. Leaving it in your bag, no scrolling, or listening to anything walking creates a break for your brain to relax. Focus on the Present: Without a phone, you pay more attention to your surroundings—like the sounds, sights, and smells. This grounding helps reduce feelings of overwhelm and increases bilateral stimulation.

you're an ADHD girl, I'm an ADHD girl... and we both need better quality sleep. Here's some relaxation tips that I've been doing recently that have really helped me get a deeper sleep at night, even with a busy ADHD brain and mind. Poor sleep makes ADHD impairments and symptoms worse, so let's find ways to calm ADHD at bedtime, and sleep better so we can be Healthy and Happy ADHD Girls. :) Research suggests that women with ADHD may experience challenges related to sleep for several reasons: Hyperactivity and Impulsivity: ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity and impulsivity can lead to heightened arousal, making it more difficult for individuals to wind down and relax before bedtime. Executive Functioning Difficulties: ADHD is associated with executive function deficits, which can impact the ability to plan and organize daily activities, including maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. Mind Wandering and Racing Thoughts: ADHD is often characterized by a busy mind with constant thoughts and ideas. This can make it challenging for women with ADHD to quiet their minds when trying to fall asleep. Sensory Sensitivities: Some individuals with ADHD, including women, may have heightened sensitivities to stimuli, such as light, noise, or discomfort from clothing. These sensitivities can contribute to difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Co-occurring Conditions: Women with ADHD often have co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression, which can also impact sleep quality. Managing these conditions may contribute to improved sleep. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those occurring during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause, can affect sleep patterns. Women with ADHD may be more susceptible to the impact of these hormonal changes on their sleep. It's important to note that each individual's experience with ADHD is unique, and not all women with ADHD will necessarily have sleep difficulties. However, understanding these potential challenges can help individuals and healthcare professionals develop targeted strategies to improve sleep hygiene and overall well-being. If sleep difficulties persist, consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable for personalized guidance and support.
