Multiple alarms in the morning is more about not getting enough sleep than it is about ADHD. The rest are pretty accurate, though some things are missing.
Unless you woke up early to get stuff done and that's to remind you to leave for work lol
This would be me. 5 mins left before a meeting, let me just check this one thing. 20 mins later "sorry I'm late lost track of time".
me today. "I could leave now and be half an hour early... but that's boring!" then I blink twice and suddenly I'm scrambling to not be late
Nothing about that is exclusive to ADHD though. That literally could just be anybody
about what? accumulating responsibilities unaddressed? of course they could happen with anyone, they just happen more with ADHD
what I'm saying is that hypersomnia is not symptomatic of ADHD. the rest of it is.
Sleep issues are 100% a symptom of ADHD lmfao, maybe not for you but it's extremely common
No. It's not about me. I work in the field. Sleep disturbance is not a primary symptom and not a diagnostic criterion. It's a common symptom of anxiety, which is comorbid with ADHD, but not ADHD itself.
Please don't trust me on it though. Don't trust anyone on social media about mental health issues. Talk to a professional.
It's nothing to do with anxiety disorder, when your mind runs like a motor and is constantly racing with no way to turn off it can obviously make it extremely hard to sleep. My mind wandering iff to thinking about how I would win a chess match against a black bear while I'm trying to sleep is 100% my ADHD and 0% anxiety disorder lol. And thinking about random embarrassing shit at night also isn't an anxiety disorder, it's just your ADHD
I get plenty of sleep and still need at least 3 or 4 alarms that are spaced 5-10 min apart each.
