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 :)

Drugs

Edit: to clarify, I mean prescription stuff. But whatever floats your boat

I use melatonin, but that usually gives me insomnia after a while when I try to not use it.

Melatonin is probably one of the most misunderstood and misused supplements out there

Care to elaborate? I agree it's certainly overused. I know I use it wayy to much.

Melatonin doesn’t make you tired. It can impact how your body regulates itself but in and of itself it isn’t a sedative.

I use that, but if something disturbs my sleep, like my partner arriving at 2am after work, having taken melatonin will disrupt the rest of my night.

Beat me to it. Was going to post an alcohol bottle.

Same. Except mine aren't prescription. Technically, it's OTC.
