The ADHD Sleep Reset is an eight-week, therapist-led program for insomnia, delayed sleep patterns and revenge bedtime procrastination—adapted for brains that do not power down on command.
Standard advice often assumes that consistency, low stimulation and bedtime cues are easy to generate. ADHD changes activation, reward, time awareness and the transition out of hyperfocus.
Medical sleep disorders may require physician assessment or another service before behavioural treatment.
Live ADHD-adapted CBT-I group
Small enough for weekly review
A $100 deposit reserves a cohort place
Usually four to eight individual sessions
The program treats the mechanisms that maintain the wired-at-night, exhausted-in-the-morning loop.
Bedtime drifts because internal time signals are unreliable and the evening finally feels self-directed.
Hyperfocus, unfinished tasks, worry and reward-seeking make disengagement harder precisely when demands become quiet.
Caffeine, naps, snooze cycles and inconsistent wake times reduce immediate distress while keeping the rhythm unstable.
The intervention changes one link at a time rather than demanding a perfect overnight routine.
Hyperfocus, avoidance or revenge bedtime delay pushes the sleep window later.
Snoozing, rushing and missed light exposure weaken the next night’s sleep drive.
Caffeine, naps and reduced activity help short-term functioning but fragment sleep pressure.
The cycle repeats because nighttime is again the first quiet, rewarding part of the day.
Each week tests a small change, reviews the data and builds a personal sleep system.
Use stimulus control, sleep scheduling and cognitive methods in a way that accounts for ADHD barriers.
Add sensory and emotional regulation methods for the brain that experiences quiet as activation rather than calm.
Finish with a written explanation of the pattern, leverage points, warning signs and the plan that worked.
The clinical method is similar, while the format changes the degree of personalization.
Best for adults who want live structure, shared learning and a defined program at a lower cost.
Best for shift work, young children, complex medical context or a schedule that does not fit the group.
Use supporting self-paced resources for attention, routine design, procrastination and emotional regulation.
No. The program is designed for ADHD-style sleep barriers, but formal diagnosis is not required.
No. CBT-I is a structured insomnia treatment. The program also adapts implementation for time blindness, activation and regulation difficulties.
No. Medication decisions belong with a prescriber. Timing, side effects and caffeine can be reviewed and coordinated when clinically useful.
Symptoms suggesting apnea, restless legs or another medical sleep disorder may require medical assessment before or alongside behavioural treatment.
