    Opening & Welcome

    0:00

    Nia: Hey everyone, welcome to your personalized BeFreed podcast! I'm Nia, and I am so excited to dive into something that I know hits close to home for so many of us-falling asleep faster when you have ADHD, especially as a woman.

    0:15

    Eli: And I'm Eli! Oh my goodness, Nia, yes! This is such an important topic because sleep struggles with ADHD aren't just about counting sheep, right? There's this whole complex web of racing thoughts, hormonal changes, and that lovely ADHD brain that just doesn't want to shut off when we need it to.

    0:33

    Nia: Exactly! So today we're going to explore some game-changing strategies that actually work with your ADHD brain instead of against it. Ready to finally get some quality sleep?
