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
