How to get a good night's rest with add and insomnia?

Great question: Add can cause insomnia because of the stress it brings to your life. The medications to treat add can also cause insomnia. Sometimes people with add also have depression and anxiety conditions, which can cause insomnia. Medication, exercise, good nutrition, avoiding caffeine, and meditation and counseling can help. Speak with a physician or mental health professional. Hope this answer helps.

Avoid sugar : Adhd attention deficit hyperactivity disorderis often caused or worsened by fluctuating blood sugars as a result of sweet drinks. Reactive hypoglycemia leads to inability to concentrate as the brain is temporarily starved for glucose. Then the low sugar levels stimulate the release of adrenaline leading to the hyperactivity. This can also cause insomnia.
