[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP. My DD and I both have ADHD. I am on sleep meds, though I didn’t need them until my 40s. My teen just weaned herself off sleep meds after using them for 3.5 years.

It is so hard to live in a constant state of tiredness and of course, less sleep aggravates ADHD (symptoms).

I recommend heavy exercise and Calm gummies (they are a magnesium supplement). My DD and I swear by them. And all the other sleep hygiene stuff that is recommended - no screens, wind down time.

It is really a life style you need to commit to…[/quote]

What do you mean by heavy exercise and, more importantly, when? I find that the nights my DD has practice it actually makes it harder for her to go to sleep, but that may have more to do with the fact that she gets home later and has less time to wind down than it does with the fact that she exercised.

DP, but assume this poster means heavy work, which you can look up. That includes activities like pushing and pulling heavy objects. It’s supposed to help calm the nervous system. [/quote]
