its really weird to see all these articles about how people who have ADHD have sleeping problems but the issue I have is that if you look at it as a matter of your circadian rythym being out of sync? of COURSE you’re not going to be able to sleep. we don’t say people who can’t fall asleep at 4 pm and sleep 8 hours have insomnia, because that’s not a normally agreed upon time to sleep and its not your bodies time to sleep. if you tell someone to go to bed at 10 and they can’t sleep till 3 am sometimes in just not insomnia. people with ADHD are often wired to sleep from 4 am to 12 pm ish because of the delayed onset of melatonin but if you let us go to bed at the time we need? most of us actually sleep pretty well and consistently.
wAIT THIS IS AN ACTUAL THING THAT EXISTS
“For most adults the onset of melatonin is around 9.30 pm; in ADHD children compared to controls this occurs at least 45 minutes later, and in adults with ADHD even 90 minutes (van der Heijden ea, 2005; van Veen ea 2010). After melatonin onset, it normally takes 2 hours to fall asleep, but in adults with ADHD it takes at least 3 hours (Bijlenga et al, 2013).”
Look at me awake at 1:47 am and reblogging this post.
So I’m actually trained in therapy for addressing insomnia and one of the things we learned is that a good chunk of sleep problems are societal disorders – as in they WOULDN’T EXIST as problems if society didn’t assume everyone was on the same circadian rhythm and that being up and working 9-5 was mandatory/normal. Blew my mind and made so much sense. You are not the problem, society is literally the problem.

Bruce is fantastic at conflict resolution: he always cuts to the core of an issue.
He isn’t battling his daddy issues or going on a self-righteous ego trip everytime there is an argument amongst the team. He focuses on the issue at hand. He goes straight to the heart of the matter
in each case —
it is strange that SHIELD claims to be in the energy business
—
they are locating the Tesseract, but they demand to know why SHIELD is making weapons of mass destruction using it —
that being scientists, they would have better idea as to what they are doing in regards to Vision
—
that they’re under a huge time constraint and the priority should be finding the infinity stones before deciding what to do with them. Thus, Bruce is
easily
able to clarify either the importance or the urgency of an issue; and highlights what needs to be the priority of the team.
This is also the reason why, in Infinity War, Bruce almost ended years-long feud between the Avengers by saying a simple line
—
“It doesn’t matter who’s talking to whom. Thanos is coming.”
aka there is a reason why Bruce had to be taken out of the narrative for Civil War to be possible.
I’ve made many posts about this but rn I’m exhausted and scared so I thought I’d communicate in memes. My donation goal and progress is in my description.Reblogs would be met with my eternal gratitude.
