Ep #78 - Little Life Reset: Sleep Is Not the Thing to Cut

from "You Are A Lot" (an ADHD/AuDHD podcast) · host Jen Kirkman

This is the third episode in my 8 part series for April (4 of the episodes are Patreon bonus episodes) called Little Life Resets. This one is about sleep, (no, it's not about insomnia.) This is for the ADHD/AuDHD humans who don't have issues with sleep but keep deciding to cut down significantly on sleep in order to have "more time." I talk about why cutting sleep to "be more productive" is actually the thing making you less productive. And I hope to get you to believe that if you can go to bed with the discomfort of your to-do's not being all done, and get a full night's sleep, you'll wake up with a different feeling about that same list of to-do's that that you didn't do.
