If you live with ADHD, you know the nightly battle: your body is exhausted, but your mind is racing. You lie awake with a thousand thoughts, or you wake feeling as tired as when you went to bed. It’s a struggle that can leave you ashamed, frustrated, and hopeless — especially when you’re also trying to support an aging parent who faces the same challenges. This gentle guide is here to help you understand what’s really happening in your neurodivergent brain at night and to offer a clear, compassionate path toward more restful sleep. You’ll learn why common sleep advice often fails for ADHD, how to build a bedtime routine that actually works with your brain, and what simple changes can calm nighttime anxiety and restlessness. You’ll also discover practical ways to support both yourself and a parent without burning out. With warmth, science, and a respectful dose of reality, this book meets you where you are and helps you move forward — one quiet night at a time. Part of The Quiet Healing Library.
