ADHD things I didn’t know until recently: ADHD has been found to be genetically linked to “Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder”. People who experience this usually fall asleep around 2 or 3 am and can be almost impossible to wake up in the morning for regular school or work times. Sometimes it gets better as they reach adulthood, but otherwise it is a lifelong disorder. Normal sleeping routines can be established, but they can be hard to keep because the brain will eventually reset its sleeping schedule to the later sleep time.
Note that this is not to be confused with insomnia because DSPD means having a biological clock with a later sleeping schedule, and usually people with DSPD do not have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
@adhd-community @actuallyadhd I see asks about insomnia and trouble sleeping sometimes so I thought I’d tag your blogs B)
