Help with sleeping routines and discipline

[JCharning]

Me and my wife a both ND mix of AuDHD to a different extent for both of us. We struggle with sleep in that only one of us seems to be able to fall asleep at a reasonable time as the other will then end up being awake until 2-3am. It doesn’t seem to be snoring or fidgeting in their sleep, more like once one is asleep the others brain just strings to life.

As you can imagine this means that having a regular sleep pattern is very difficult for both us therefore leading to unstable mood.

If anyone can shed some light on methods that we could try I would appreciate it a lot.

(We often use chamomile teas and valerian root tablets)

Well it could just be your individual natural sleep patterns. But things like - screen time, what you do in the last hour or two before bed could impact this. That said I actually seem to be able to even use a tablet or Kindle for 30 mins before sleeping and I drop off, with music (chill/sleep or even thunder and lightening palylist on Spotify) on an Echo speaker (Partly to mask my tinnitus).

If you're not tired no point trying to go to sleep either , get up and do something and you may hit another sleep window (can't remember the name). I generally am now going to be earlier sometimes 10:30 but usually no later than 11-11:30 but used to saty up until 2-3 at weekends, now I try to keep the same pattern 7 days a week

У нас з дружиною поєднання нейронної нейронної системи та асоційованого згортання горла (AuDHD) різною мірою. У нас проблеми зі сном, оскільки лише один з нас, здається, може заснути у прийнятний час, тоді як інший не спить до 2-3 години ночі. Здається, що це не хропіння чи метушня уві сні, радше те, що як тільки один засинає, мозок іншого просто оживає.

Як ви можете собі уявити, це означає, що регулярний режим сну дуже складний для нас обох, що призводить до нестабільного настрою.

Якщо хтось може пролити світло на методи, які ми могли б спробувати, я буду дуже вдячний.

My husband and I have different sleep challenges so we've taken to sleeping in different bedrooms. I realise that's not an option for everyone but it's made a huge positive difference for us. We have a routine of saying goodnight when I go to bed, then he goes downstairs for a bit.
