[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me! Sleep hygiene is a huge priority. [/quote] Could you pls explain what you did to achieve this? [/quote] Sure! Well, first of all this was impossible when my kids were little. But once they hit 4 and 6 years old, it was easier to tackle. One--no screens an hour before bed. Reading only or chatting with dh. Two--find the right temperature for your room/sleeping clothes/blanket. Aim for a little cooler than you think. Three--caffeine only before 10am, limit liquids after 5. So that means hydrate well early in the day. Four--don't pass your sleep window, if possible. If you're yawning like crazy at 9:45 then you should aim to go to bed around that time, at least for awhile. Five--don't stay up much much later on weekends, and don't sleep in too much. This one may seem painful, but helps so much in regulating sleep and anxiety and -as a result- adhd symptoms.[/quote]
