It is AMAZING what catching up on #sleep can do for #MentalHealth. 3 days ago I was struggling, this morning I woke up refreshed and ready to jump back on all the horses I've ignored for 2w.
Sleep is the first domino of #selfcare that #ADHD-ers need to take care of. Gathering data and using technology has helped me to get back on track. When I looked at my sleep data for the month (see image), I saw how spotty sleep affected how I felt. The 2nd week was so bad that motivation cratered; I had to use last week to get my sleep back on track.
I use two #iOS #apps for this: #AutoSleep (the screenshot source) and #RiseApp (it calculates #CircadianRhythms, the best times to sleep & wake, and tracks sleep debt).
3 nights of 8.5h of sleep caught me up, and I did it by going to bed at Rise's recommended time, with 1mg of #melatonin taken 4h before that.
Props to my #AppleWatch for the data gathering.

Melatonin window: when the body produces more melatonin & is the best time to go to sleep. Around 9:40-10:40pm 🤯. I’ve also noticed that if I don’t go to sleep by 10:30-ish that I can easily stay up til midnight or later.
I’m hoping that this data helps me make the most out of my days (the #RiseApp has an option to add events for these phases to your calendar *based on the time you wake up & your sleep for the last week*).
But it’s gratifying to have my instincts confirmed by science.

The #RiseApp said:
Wake time: between 5-6am (that’s my norm from the data)
Morning grogginess: the time after waking as it takes ~90min to wake. Best time to do stuff like workout, drink coffee, read, etc. Just like I already do 🤯
Morning peak: the first of 2 energy peaks, a ~3h stretch that starts around … 10am 🤯

Over Xmas I got an #AppleWatch to gather data about sleep & nutrition to relate to mindset & performance.
Got a new app yday called #RiseApp, an ‘energy and sleep tracker.’ It uses #circadianRhythms to tell you when your best energy times are, when to wind down, best time to go to sleep, etc. I figured it was worth a shot.
It parsed my existing sleep data - and confirmed my daily rhythm 🤯
