It is worth getting yourself checked.
I'd also recommend listening to the podcast of prof of Neurobiology Andrew Huberman. He does research on the relationship between the eyes and the brain and a lot of it touches on sleep.
- mckirk 6y agoI can only second the Huberman podcast suggestion. It's so much good information in one place and the guy does such a good job of explaining things that I'm really happy to see it gain traction :)
- jdxcode 6y agoYeah, I think he would say you need very bright light soon after waking, ideally sunlight.
- J-dawg 6y agoHow does one actually get "checked" for ADHD? It's not like there's a blood test.
- xyzzy_plugh 6y agoYou get assessed by a medical professional equipped to evaluate you, just like any neurodevelopment issue.
- afarrell 6y agoAs a first step, you might hire a coach to help you with 1. Making and keeping the necessary appointments. 2. Dealing with insurance. 3. Persuading your parents to endure the ego-threat of listening to your actual needs instead of telling you things like "stop being so hard on yourself".
- fatnoah 6y ago(Note: My son has diagnosed ADHD, non-hyperactive) There isn't a blood test, but you can do a neuropsychological evaluation which assesses cognitive functions. We had one done for my son, and it was a 2-day affair. As a non-ADHD parent, it was eye-opening to get a glimpse into how his brain worked and to start to really understand the challenges ADHD poses in a school environment.
