This is weird.
I’m friends with a doctor (med student until recently) who I remember telling me about 5 years ago as a fun fact that adhd is somewhat related to sleep regulation, that the tendencies of adhd people (hyperfocusing on topics, fidgetting, etc) are mostly compensating behaviors to maintain wakefulness.
I remember because I’m actually diagnosed (very recently). Is this not common knowledge?
It doesn't make sense to me. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the start of the year. I've had consistently good sleep for several years prior to the diagnosis and I never particularly felt tired
