## Resource

Do you stay up way past bedtime, even when you're exhausted, because it's the only time that finally feels like yours? That's called revenge bedtime procrastination, and for many adults with ADHD, it isn't about poor discipline. It's about desperately trying to reclaim autonomy after a day full of demands. In this episode, I share the surprising mindset shift that completely changed my relationship with bedtime. Instead of trying to force myself to sleep earlier, I stopped making bedtime the only time I belonged to myself. We'll talk about why ADHD brains crave freedom at night, how boundaries and transitions changed everything, why I made my weeknights intentionally boring, and the powerful decision to let the clock—not my to-do list—decide when work is over. If your favorite part of the day is when everyone else is asleep, this episode might change the way you think about your evenings—and your life. Because maybe you aren't addicted to staying up.
