(without feeling you are missing out or wasting time)
When I meet clients for the first time, I ask them some standard questions to get an idea of what their life is like. One of these questions is,
âWhat time do you go to bed at night?â
And very often the reply isâŚ
âWell itâs not night time,â
followed by guilty admissions of 2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m. bedtimes.
Whatever your bedtime currently is, donât feel guilty about it.
There are lots of very real reasons why having ADHD makes going to bed challenging.
However! Those early morning bedtimes cause problems when your alarm is ringing at 6.30 a.m., reminding you to get up and start your day.
Can you get by on 3 hours sleep a night? Yes, but itâs not sustainable and it doesnât feel good.
Your ADHD symptoms get worse. You feel tired, low energy and irritable. Plus, itâs not helpful for your long term health.
An 8 lesson course that teaches you the exact ADHD friendly steps to take so you can go to bed at your ideal bedtime, every day.
This simple but powerful course gives you an exact formula to discover your ideal bedtime.
Plus, you get the practical steps and mindset shifts you need so that you can go to bed at your ideal time consistently, day in and day out, month after month.
Hi! I am Jacqueline and have been an ADHD coach for the last 15 years.
Before that, I was a nurse working in a busy surgical hospital. Nurses know the many benefits of sleep for their patients.
However, life as a nurse with early, late and night shifts doesnât lend itself to having a regular sleep routine or getting enough sleep.
It was during those years of being a nurse I realized if I didnât get enough sleep my mood would dip and I would start to feel depressed.
Since feeling depressed is grim, I wanted to avoid it at all costs. Although I didnât know the term âmental shiftâ at the time, thatâs what I did. I made a mental shift and I decided to prioritize sleep.
From there I was able to create habits that allowed me to get my sleep quota and avoid the depression darkness â even though there were lots of external circumstances that were out of my control.
When I became an ADHD coach, I had a more conventional work schedule which made going to bed at my ideal bedtime easier in many ways.
However, I still prioritize sleep and use those habits to get me to bed at the ideal time every night.
And these steps donât just work for me. The steps in âIâm Going to Bed Now â for Sure!â have helped hundreds of my one-to-one private clients. These steps will work for you too.
You might not feel depressed if you donât get enough sleep, but you will have your own motivations for wanting to go to bed at your ideal time. What are they?
Perhaps itâs because you know your memory improves and isnât like the proverbial âsieve,â or you donât like sleeping your weekends away to catch up, or you want to wake up with your alarm rather than automatically pressing âsnoozeâ and then sleeping late.
Learn the 9 reasons why ADHDers find it hard to go to bed.
Identifying which of these affect you helps you to understand yourself and why you are the way you are. It will also make going to bed much easier in the future.
Understand your sleep history
In this lesson I help you identify your sleep patterns at different phrases of your life. This helps you uncover the underlying reasons for your current bedtime behaviours and habits.
Know your ideal bedtime
In this lesson I give you the formula to discover what your ideal bedtime is. Okay, there is math involved but donât worry, itâs simple.
Knowing your ideal bedtime is the foundation for all the other steps.
Make simple but powerful mindset shifts
In this lesson you will learn the helpful ADHD friendly mindset shifts to make, so that you feel motivated to go to bed.
Create 2 new routines to help you go to bed. A bedtime and a pre-bedtime routine. They help you to physically and mentally prepare for bed and sleep.
These work even if you havenât been able to âmake yourselfâ go to bed for decades.
âThe pre bedtime routine (I didnât know there was such a thing) in addition to the bedtime routine has helped me tremendously. It used to be that when I was sleepy I would start to go to bed, but by the time I had done everything to prepare for bed I would be wide awake again.â D. Happy course member
In this lesson you will learn the helpful tool (itâs free) to help you carry out the 2 key behaviours in Lesson 5.
