Hey all, I have ADHD and insomnia! I've tried some things, but, I'm really hoping someone has advice on how to keep a schedule. I always end up slipping around until I have to do some kind of grueling "all-dayer" or something to put myself back on track.

Thoughts? Tricks? Wisdom? I'm all ears.

I have same experience. I would sleep every day a bit later until I got to the point where I would sleep at 6am, spend the whole day feeling like a zombie, then sleep early and repeat.

For the past year, I am trying to wake up every day at 8am, it kinda works. I still occasionally get out of schedule but within a few days I am able to get back to the routine.

Another thing that has helped is falling asleep to a streamer video. I watch everynight a trackmania video and it helps me fall asleep.
