ADHD & SLEEP: ADHD Awareness Afternoon On Soon
ADHD is linked with a variety of sleep problems. The ADHD brain has trouble regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin, which helps regulate your sleep cycle.
On Saturday 2nd March ADDults with ADHD is running the next of its popular ADHD AWARENESS AFTERNOON series about "ADHD and SLEEP".
Research confirms that ADHD does not go away at night. It can cause restless nights. Even worse a long-term lack of sleep can affect your stress levels, frustration tolerance, ability to regulate emotions, focus and appetite.
If you or someone you care for wants to learn more about ADHD's impact on sleep, hurry, register and reserve your seat.
Don't miss guest speaker Dr Keith Johnson, Neuropsychiatrist who will be talking about "all things sleep" - such as how lack of sleep affects adults and kids, the latest research, strategies and tips for improving your sleep and for waking up healthier.
FULL DETAILS (download the flyer) here. Share it with others!

ADHD Not Just For Kids: Excellent Video
Watch and learn. Recommended resource about Adult ADHD today. Useful information about ADHD across the life-span.
"ADHD - Not Just for Kids" debunks some of the ignorance surrounding this invisible condition as more and more adults are recognised as having ADHD. The documentary follows the personal journeys made by adults who were diagnosed with ADHD late in life.
It also challenges some of the most persistent "myths" surrounding ADHD, through interviews with some of the leading experts in the area and a look at the most recent research into the field.
Make yourself comfortable, set aside 45-50 minutes and watch. You won't be disappointed and you may want to share it to increase awareness of what ADHD really is for adults. By the way you might have to skip past some adverts at the start and part way through.
