What bedtime routine helps you sleep? (lemmy.world)

It's no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I'm curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

  • 6-8 hours before bed: no more coffee
  • 3 hours before bed: no more eating
  • 1-2 hours before bed: shower + hot bath
  • until bed: low light (not blue light). No more non-fiction (no news, no work-related, etc.) and no games. Basically, nothing to get the mind/body worked up.
  • bed. No screens or lights. Light music or white noise if needed.

This works pretty well for me, but sticking to it 100% of the time can be a bit difficult.

Add: Get the room as cool as possible. Feet and hands are great radiators.
