24. "Help! Is it my ADHD or am I just bad at sleep?!" π΄
Description
Hi beautiful ADHD babes!
On today's show:
- Grace tries relaxed parenting but gets piggy-bocked in the face, and Tara is forced to admit her STEM job from when she was 14 years old. Β
β’ Divergent Dilemma - A gorgeous listener called Ashara asks whether late night productivity and sleep issues are linked to ADHD.Β
Ooooofff, this is a biiig question!
We asked our audience whether they were night owls or early birds (worms?) and the results were (not very) surprising.
We talk about why the late night hours are so appealing for ADHDers and why decompressing at night is so important for our dysregulated nervous systems. Tara talks about the link between diet and sleep cycles for ADHDers and gives some helpful tips (more on eating in episodes 4, 8, 19 & 20) AND we hear from our listeners what sort of tasks are keeping you up late at night π.Β
β’ This week's Ireggy Seggy is a round of 'Who is more likely to...?'Β
We learn a lot about each other (eg. who is most likely to yell at bugs and who is most likely to send a snarky text) but mostly that Grace is mummyβs little ferret.Β
RECS:Β
β’ Grace recommends 'First we make the beast beautiful' by Sarah Wilson: the best book on anxiety she's ever read!
β’ Tara recommends non-photosynthesising plants (a.k.a good quality fake plants πͺ΄)Β π
Happy Thursday babes,
Weβll be back in your ears the same time next week!
Until then.
You KNOW what you canβt do (RSD)
Tara and GraceΒ
