Adult ADHD ADD Tips – Overstimulation and Sleep

This podcast episode focuses on managing overstimulation and its impact on sleep, particularly for individuals with ADHD. The host, Michael Joseph Ferguson, discusses strategies for proactive sleep management, including establishing a consistent wind-down routine (e.g., evening walks, journaling), limiting evening stimulation (TV, phone), and incorporating calming activities (yoga, meditation). He introduces the "I am noticing" meditation technique to manage racing thoughts at bedtime. Listeners are encouraged to utilize sunlight exposure, magnesium and ashwagandha supplements, and regular cardio exercise to improve sleep quality. A free PDF worksheet is offered to aid listeners in implementing these strategies.
