'The quality and quantity of your REM sleep is directly proportional to your life span.' and 'A lack of REM sleep is associated with emotional dysregulation. REM sleep is basically free overnight therapy.' WOW! Those two ideas really hit home.
Oh, wow! I'm watching this 2hrs past my 'bedtime'. I've all along been convincing myself that this is my much needed 'me-time', even though I admit it's possible to squeeze in me-time during other hours
I’m listening to this while trying to fall asleep. I struggle to fall asleep so much, it’s like this weird conundrum, my brain needs something to entertain it while I go to sleep (otherwise I write business plans in my head or act out fictional scenarios is my head that give me anxiety) but now I feel like I’ve trained my brain not being able to sleep at all because it needs constant entertainment
The last section really solidifies that this was not made by people with adhd; oh yeah let me just casually be consistent. If I didn't have the issue with consistency I wouldn't be here looking for solutions
The moment I knew this video wouldn't help me? The habit building speech saying brushing teeth at night without thinking is something we already do...actually no it's incredibly hard and not a habit for me.
Just went to sleep at 3:00 AM this morning. I don’t know how to break the cycle. I can’t function during the day which might cost me my job and weekends are just crash and burn. I can’t get ahead and constantly carrying a backload that is more than any 1 person can do. I’m so frustrated. I’ve sought a clutter therapist and regular therapy, but they’ve not helped me deal with the sleep issue which is the catalyst to dealing with everything.
After struggling with this for a long time, I've started taking a melatonin + valerian supplement and it often does the work, I start yawning soon after and if I manage to not fight it, I can go to bed then (not sure if everyone can take this supplement though). If however I fight that wave, then it's like surfing above it and into a long night of staying awake and doing all kinds of stupid things. I've now recorded two messages to myself on my phone and set them as alarm sounds, once 20 minutes before my desired bed time to go and start bed prep (teeth washing etc and screens off) and one at bedtime. Hope it works, this nasty habit is really wrecking my life.

It's not just women that struggle with this. I'm a man and this is one of the worst adhd problems I'm struggling with because it leads to bad sleep which basically ruins my whole life and throws everything off.
Same here, I don’t see any gender relevance. The ‘…parenting, household responsibilities…’ comment in the intro felt lifted straight from the 1950s too. I’ll either ignore the sexism/focus on the content or hop into drag for an hour. Will that work?
Oh wow wow wow wow I was literally going to look up this podcast today, been meaning to as I was up til 2 am last night for no reason and I feel awful today and I haven’t done a thing. The struggle is real. Sooo thankful for you all!!!
Valuable insight but I wanted to throw cushions at the screen every time Tracy said "slide". Which was about every 20 words. Even my partner started laughing from the other room. Surely if you can interrupt yourself to ask for a slide change, you can click it yourself?
Please, please release a version of this without announcing the slides, or invest in a remote/control the slides yourself. Needing to announce slides multiple times in a minute distracts ftom the content so much 😭

Haha I bedtime procrastinate from 11Pm to 3-8am last 6 years, I have chronic pain and I am so mind-numbingly bored that it is torture. As I can't do anything but watch a wall whole day, nothing I can do simply is more entertaining to me than this. I AM more bored than prisoners in isolation no joke!!! I am trying to go sleep even 500 times from 11pm to 3-8am listening to one song 8 hours. It is catch 22 to be able to go to sleep: I would have to not be bored, but because I can't do anything I Am bored out of my fucking mind and to get healthy I would have to do healthy decisions which I cannot do from boredom, so it is catch22...

I feel like I'm actively tripping myself up (even though I KNOW how messed up it is). Or maybe I'm protecting myself from trying and failing. Because that sucks worse than sleep deprivation. Does it resonate for anyone else that there is a part of self that is somehow comfortable in the struggle- a part that doesn't care about using all the tools and yada, yada, yada- or it says "this is how you are.

@@_triff Women are disproportionately responsible for doing care work in households. That's why the talk focuses on women.
Don't "all lives matter" this. The presentation was specifically speaking to women.
The comments about meds helping sleep or not keeping you awake I agree with, as when I had chronic fatigue I could sleep even with the meds.
