The Quest for Better Rest: Sleep Solutions from an ADHDer
Author Aiden Ashlyn shares her research and sleep strategies for addressing insomnia and other sleep disorders. Ashlyn embraces the amazing way the ADHD brain works. Her book is a compassionate and comprehensive guide to empowering fellow ADHDers and the neurotypical to find their best sleep solutions. Restful nights and rested days are achievable.
Ashlyn explores sleep cycles, why good sleep matters, and the bidirectional relationship between sleep and ADHD; ADHD affects sleep, and lack of sleep adversely affects ADHDers. Knowledge is understanding sleep, sleep disorders and issues, and sleep habits is the first step to achieving better sleep.
Ashlyn presents dozens of therapies and practices to guide readers on their quest to discover good nights and better days. The author examines and encourages sleep hygiene and explains why a relaxing evening routine can be a very effective sleep tool for adults and children with ADHD. She shares personal experiences and insights while fully embracing her neurodiversity and presenting an ADHD-positive perspective.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to finding sleep solutions. And that's why so many methods are presented in the book,
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for sleepAcupunctureAcupressureSupplementsYoga NidraMeditationHypnosisPrescription and Over-the-Counter DrugsAnd much more...
Ashlyn writes,
"If you have struggled with your sleep for years, no quick fix will magically grant you eight uninterrupted hours. However, lifestyle changes, medication, and therapies can help you overcome years of dysfunctional sleep and put you on the path to restful nights once you find the right combination of strategies. I'm not a doctor or a pharmaceutical rep; I'm just an ADHDer with sleep difficulties who took my health into my own hands and did the research to fix my personal sleep difficulties. Now, I want to share my discoveries with you."
If you want a comprehensive guide to help you consistently get a good night's sleep, this book was written for you.
