2. I‘m sleeping better. Sleep is hard for me due to ADHD & anxiety. I‘m glad my sleep is going well.
3. I use the Rise sleep app to keep track of my sleep debt. I also give my husband my electronics every night & ask him to hide them. That way I can‘t use them in the middle of the night.

CatLass007 I‘ve slept well the last two nights, although I‘ve still been fatigued during the day. I‘ve adjusted my eating schedule, which has helped.
