Do you struggle with going to sleep, staying asleep and getting up in the morning? Well you're not alone. A delayed circadian rhythm, a dysfunctioning impulse control, racing thoughts and Restless leg syndrome are only a few of the reasons that keep us from getting some quality snoozing time. According to researchers, sleep is the number one factor that influences our health and overall wellbeing. You might not even realise that you are sleep deprived because ADHD symptoms and sleep deprivation look very similar.
