The REAL Reason ADHD Could Be Ruining Your Sleep
You're exhausted all day, then suddenly wired at 10pm. That's not random. Research suggests it's tied to a delayed circadian rhythm that's common in ADHD.
In this Research Recap, Skye and Will unpack a paper examining ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder. This isn't a list of sleep hygiene tips. It's a look at what's actually different in the ADHD body's clock, and why typical advice misses it.
Understanding the delay changes how you plan your day, not just your bedtime.
What We Cover:
- Why energy peaks late even when sleep is the goal
- Daytime melatonin levels found in kids with ADHD
- How light therapy and timing affect circadian reset
- Melatonin dosing research (less works better than more)
- What ultradian rhythms are and how they differ from circadian ones

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
