What bedtime routine helps you sleep? (lemmy.world)

It's no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I'm curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Honestly? Ritalin

Since I started taking it I'm way more tired in the evening and don't struggle to fall asleep ๐Ÿคท

My personal theory is that stimulants can help your brain stop working in overdrive and focus on one thing and, while they don't make me sleepy per se, it helps me fall asleep. But it doesn't always work and can also disrupt my sleep.

It's more that when they work during the day they get me tired in the evening, but yeah when they are taking effect I can easily take a nap too lol

I haven't had a lot of luck with adhd meds. I'm really sensitive to meds unfortunately.
