Does anyone wear tech to track their sleeping. I use a Whoop and the days that I take adhd meds it shows much less restorative sleep. Even if I take the meds at like 11am. Anyone else have this issue or notice this?

Oh interesting, I have an apple watch but I usually take it off at night so it can recharge. Maybe I'll try charging it in the evening so I can wear it through the night, I feel like this might be the case for me as well.

I don’t use tech but this isn’t surprising given that many of these medications have sleep issues as a known side effects. Have you considered taking them even earlier in the day if that’s an option for you?

See if you can get a prescription for a low dose of Trazodone. It’s an old school anti-depressant used off-label for sleep. My sister’s a psychiatrist and prescribes it to most of her ADHD patients with sleep issues. It’s super safe and even my 76-year-old mom and 82-year-old stepdad take it and it’s over the counter in a lot of countries. Just make sure to take it early enough in the evening so you’re not groggy in the morning, but it does wonders for me.

Trazodone gave me INSANE nightmares, I had to stop taking it.

Yes I have a Fitbit. Notice heart rate is elevated when I take meds and doesn’t go down as low during sleep, which means less restorative sleep. I rarely take my meds though

I used to wear my Apple Watch to do this. I stopped because GH’s profile requires me to have a long password on my watch. I did learn my natural sleep cycle was 7 hours instead of 8, and that’s about the only value I found from it. I don’t think my sleep quality diminishes on meds but I’m sure to take my last dose well before 6pm so it isn’t active when sleeping

That's really interesting - which ADHD meds do you take? I know that some are known for sleep issues, but I wonder if some impact your sleep more than others. I'm sure it varies from person to person too!

I have adhd and wear and Apple Watch Ultra 1 to sleep. I take vivanse and if I take it any later than like 9:30 I see way worse sleep. I think melatonin helps, but also try doing something to ease yourself into sleep like reading or stretching

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?
