Many people with ADHD feel more alert late at night, especially when the day finally becomes quiet. Unfortunately, that second wind can make mornings harder and attention more uneven.

- Create a wind-down routine that begins before tiredness appears.
- Move stimulating tasks away from bedtime.
- Use light exposure in the morning to support rhythm.
- Treat sleep routines as attention support, not just rest.
