"'Bedtime is SO hard.' I hear this constantly. If that's your house too, this podcast is for you.

Sleep issues are one of the most common challenges for families with ADHD kids. Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, actually feeling rested—poor sleep impacts everything from focus and mood to behavior and learning.

In this podcast episode of ADHD Connect, Tish Holub Taylor, Ph.D. breaks down why sleep is so complicated for kids with ADHD and what parents, caregivers, and educators can do to support better rest.

Let me know what you found helpful and other tips that have worked for you.

🌙 Why is sleep so hard for kids with ADHD?
Because ADHD doesn’t turn off at bedtime.

In Episode 19 of the ADHD Connect Podcast, Dr. Tish Taylor shares why up to 75% of kids and teens with ADHD struggle with sleep, and what parents can actually do to help.

✅ Calm wind-down routines
✅ What to know about melatonin
✅ Managing racing thoughts at bedtime
✅ The role of CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia)
✅ And why sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a support.

We’ve also pulled together a helpful infographic that breaks it all down 👇
🖼️ Save it, share it, print it—whatever helps you build better nights (and better mornings).

Creating a Blueprint for a Successful Semester for High School Students

✅ Centralize schedules, assignments, and deadlines
✅ Build daily habits that actually stick

What are your thoughts on going more old-school and limiting tech in the classrooms?

While technology can be a powerful tool, research highlights the benefits of handwritten notes and traditional study methods like re-writing notes and making your own flascards. It's a conversation I've been having a lot lately in my sessions with teens and college students - how to study more effectively and how distracting tech can be in the classroom. I'm not advocating an all-or-none approach, but it benefits us all to be more strategic and intentional about how to use tech in education.
