  • Start with the same sleep hygiene recommendations as for everyone else: consistent bedtime, no caffeine after 6pm, no alcohol for a couple of hours before bed, no screens for an hour before bed, dark room. Then add things that especially help. For me, melatonin helps a lot, but can leave me groggy in the morning. I need a cool room to fall asleep, and in particular it needs to get cooler just before I sleep. In the winter this happens naturally, but in the summer I set the AC a little warmer than I want in the afternoon and early evening, and turn it down before bed. I like to listen to dark ambient music while going to sleep, your mileage may vary, and you may prefer nature sounds or white noise. These recommendations work for both me and my child, so might have more general AuDHD applicability.

    Also, you might sub out CBD for the weed for a while to get the nerve pain, restless legs, and tolerance under control? I don’t know if this part will work.
