"Seems" being the key word. Oh sure, we have our moments. I once finished a 20 page paper overnight. I also procrastinated on it for a month. Nah, for the 5% this "superpower" works, we get to deal with the 95% struggle trying to get our brain to listen to our brain.
And don't get me started on self-help articles and videos. You'll find very few of those that talk about "Get better sleep!" and also mention adhd. All neurotypical. ...which might be a good Youtube channel come to think of it. Taking all the advice and adjusting it to maybe help people with adhd.
A good night’s sleep, exercise, and a good diet make a huge difference to my ability to focus. It’s a shame that having ADHD means that I’m terrible at getting myself to exercise, eat well, and to sleep at a normal time, even when medicated. (Note that I haven’t watched those specific videos)
There’s a pretty great channel for ADHD on Youtube - the creator of all the videos above - https://m.youtube.com/@HowtoADHD - and I think she’s covered that topic.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
