Odd statement coming from someone who said:
…
Not sure if you’re correlating my own poor sleep to my inability to advise others, or if this is simply a long-winded sentence. I’m going to take it in good faith though.
- The reason I say you’ve not put enough effort into addressing your sleep is because you immediately dismissed the notion that your sleep could be improved, hence why I made my “can-do attitude” comment to your defeatist statement.
- Why do I think you never looked into sleep hygiene? Because the first thing you said is why you can’t, in which it [moving] isn’t on any of the 20+ lists I’ve read through in my own pursuit of better sleep. Reducing noise? Sure, where possible - but I don’t think any of these articles’ writers assumed people would take it to the extreme of moving to desolate landscapes for the sake of noise reduction.
I won’t be successful in ‘overcoming’ my sleep issues, but that is a given… ADHD doesn’t just go away, and the problems it carries don’t disappear either. I can confidently say I have done as much as I can to improve sleep quality while balancing other priorities I have in life, so my sleep will be what it will be. I’ve bought a $5,000 bed, been through 4 or 5 sleep studies, have adjusted my CPAP numerous times through different masks trying to get it ‘optimized’, have blue light filters on every screen, track my sleep via my bed and training log… Yeah. I can pretty confidently say I’ve done about as much as in my power to correct my sleep issues given the circumstances.
