ADHD sleep pattern profiler

Find out what's actually keeping you awake

ADHD means your nightly challenges are far more complex than mere neurotypicals, and the lack of quality sleep impacts us even harder.

This quick quiz will be the first stage in identifying your specific sleep disruption pattern (circadian drift, rumination loop, task paralysis, sensory dysregulation, or hyperarousal). Learn which approaches work with them, and which don't.

Why sleep quality matters

ADHD sleep disruption isn’t just fatigue, it’s systemic sabotage.

ADHD sleep problems compound everything else

Poor sleep doesn't just make you tired. It crashes the part of your brain that manages executive function, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Your worst ADHD days often follow your worst sleep nights.

Standard sleep advice makes ADHD brains worse

"Just go to bed earlier" ignores delayed melatonin production. "Keep your bedroom boring" triggers hypervigilance in under stimulated ADHD brains. Most sleep hygiene advice backfires for neurodivergent minds.

Sleep debt sabotages your medication

Stimulants can't compensate for chronic sleep deprivation. When you're running on empty, your ADHD medication works harder for less effect, often with increased side effects.

The 3am anxiety spiral steals tomorrow's capacity

Racing thoughts at bedtime don't just ruin tonight's sleep. They systematically erode your ability to cope with the next day's demands, creating a cycle that gets harder to break.

Better sleep improves focus more than you'd expect

When sleep aligns with ADHD neurology, working memory and task initiation can improve dramatically. Many people report it's like adding a second medication to their treatment plan.

Good sleep cuts emotional chaos in half

ADHDers with stable sleep patterns report significantly fewer meltdowns, less rejection sensitivity, and better impulse control. Sleep becomes the foundation that makes everything else manageable.

Why standard sleep quizzes fail ADHD brains

Single-choice questions don’t reflect reality

ADHD sleep struggles overlap: circadian delays collide with sensory sensitivities, while unfinished tasks fuel hyperarousal.

Typical quizzes force false either/or answers.

How ours works differently

→ Multi-select where needed ("Select all that wreck your sleep")

→ Intensity sliders for key symptoms ("How brutal is your 3am mental replay?")

→ Bridging protocols when patterns intersect (e.g., circadian + sensory combo tools)

Neuroscience-specific, not sleep hygiene fluff

We target the root causes:

• Dopamine crashes disrupting wind-down

• Circadian rhythms that won’t sync

• Sensory gating failures

• Task paralysis hijacking bedtime
