I feel like I’ve spent most of my life on a sleep-improvement world tour. I’ve been through the UK sleep specialists at Guy’s Hospital, completed all the CBT-i courses, and I’m on prescription melatonin. At one point they did a polysomnography and told me my brainwaves were so busy all night they’d “never quite seen anything like it before.” Apparently ADHD brains like to host a midnight rave. My total sleep - 19 minutes! They hadn't seen that before in a dark room with zero stimulus... My issue isn’t getting to sleep — it’s staying asleep. Classic maintenance insomnia. The ironic bit is that my sleep efficiency is about 98% because I’m so deprived that when I do sleep, my body clings to it like a lifeboat. During CBTi treatment (which the hospital said was the worst thing the doctor could have advised me to do) I was prevented from lying down at all in the day and actually went to sleep standing up! So yes, I completely agree with Jim that sleep is the key to everything. If only following the advice automatically unlocked the result! Sometimes listening to seminars about sleep can feel a bit like being told to “just relax” while your brain is juggling flaming bowling pins. If anyone else is in the “I’m doing all the right things and still awake at 3am” club, please tell me your story. I promise strong empathy and absolutely zero judgement. ❤️

How do you stop good systems from evaporating overnight? I’m realising one of my biggest ADHD struggles isn’t finding systems, it’s remembering they exist the next day. I’ll set something up that actually works (planner, habit tracker, morning plan, filing system). Day 1 is great. Then I wake up on Day 2 and… 💨 poof… it’s not even in my awareness. It doesn’t occur to me to use it. Weeks later I bump into it again and think, “oh yeah, that was a great idea” …I’ll pick it up again and then next day… poof💨! Recently I’ve started using a tiny stack of cards I keep in my pocket with one thing per card (shower, supplements, kitchen reset, etc.), and that’s helping a bit because it physically lives on me. I’m curious: • Do you have one thing that helps your systems stay visible from one day to the next? • Where do you park reminders so your future ADHD brain actually sees them? • Extra love for ideas that still work when you’re tired / emotional / overwhelmed, not just on “good brain” days. 💛 Would love very practical “this is what I literally do” answers.

I’m curious if anyone has found a system to keep track of projects and to do’s that has worked long term. I’ve tried many: asana, notion, Monday, todoist, etc. but none have helped very much; they seem to create more work for me in just trying to learn how to use them or they aren’t robust enough. I tried Finch again recently (appreciating it’s improvements); it is working great for day to day goals at home but not work projects.

How did everyone find day 4? I just finished it and I loved the 8 dimensions and I’m excited for the am & pm routines! How are you all with cold showers? I find they don’t work well for my NS but I’m happy to replace that with a warm one instead. Anyone else have the same experience?
