ADHD and sleep issues often go hand-in-hand. However, too many students (and adults!) often treat their difficulty focusing and their struggle to fall asleep as separate issues.

What do you think of her advice? Do you think these strategies would be helpful for students with ADHD? What other strategies have you found are helpful in managing sleep issues for people with ADHD?
