My ADHD brain can’t stop at night. These screen-time fixes help

My late-night screen habits are… not great. I’ll admit it.

Hyperfocus, if you’ve got attention deficit disorder like I do, is intense and relentless, almost like a separate entity taking hold of me. I’ll spend hours on an article, fiddling with every sentence until the words sing the way I want them to. Some people call it a superpower, but the reality is that it can be pretty brutal.

One morning I woke up with a headache so bad that I had to call out sick from work. Cold towel on my face.
