Viele Menschen, die unter ADHS leiden, haben auch Schlafprobleme. Sie kommen abends nicht zur Ruhe oder schlafen unruhig. Auch kommt es vor, das Betroffene nachts häufig munter werden. Daraus folgt, dass man am nächsten Tag erschöpft und müde ist. Man kann sich weniger konzentrieren und ein Teufelskreis entsteht. Wenig Schlaf verschlimmert auch die ADHS-Symptome.

Mit den richtigen Gewohnheiten wird Schlaf erholsamer. Doch nicht nur das, auch das das Leben mit ADHS wird so ein Stück einfacher.
