Sleep Hygiene and Lifestyle Support
Sleep hygiene refers to the habits and practices that support consistent, quality sleep. While “sleep hygiene” alone may not resolve chronic insomnia, it forms an important foundation for any treatment plan. Common recommendations include maintaining a consistent sleep and wake schedule, creating a calm and comfortable sleep environment, limiting screen exposure before bed, and reducing caffeine and alcohol — especially in the evening hours.
Your provider can help you identify which specific habits may be most impactful for your situation.
ADHD and Insomnia: Is There a Connection?
Many people are surprised to learn that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems often go hand in hand. Research suggests that individuals with ADHD are significantly more likely to experience insomnia, difficulty winding down, and irregular sleep patterns.
Moreover, untreated ADHD can make it harder to establish the routines and habits that support healthy sleep. On the other hand, poor sleep can worsen ADHD symptoms like inattention, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation — making it even harder to function during the day.
If you’ve struggled with both sleep and focus, concentration, or attention, it may be worth exploring whether ADHD is a contributing factor. Wayfinder Psychiatry and Wellness offers ADHD testing as part of our holistic services — providing clarity that can open the door to more targeted and effective support.
