Ep. 92: ADHD & Sleep–Power Down Hour
Thursday Aug 29, 2024
Thursday Aug 29, 2024
Pop some melatonin and put on a pot of sleepytime tea, because we’re bringing you a nightcap of knowledge and there’s no better foundation for learning than a well-rested brain.
This episode, Kristin is a huge hypocrite as she teaches us about the importance of sleep. She’s covering the four stages, how sleep (or lack thereof) impacts our brains and bodies, why so many ADHDers in particular have a hard time doin’ sleep, and tips and tricks for getting to bed early and waking up on time.
We’re also sharing about our Funtown adventures, discussing the privileges of a summer birthday, and continuing our month of controversy with complaints about Oregon drivers.
Whether you’re an early morning emu or a late night arctic seabird, there's nothing sexier than a good night’s sleep, so come learn how to do it right in this sleepy meat of an episode.
