I think ADHD makes me smarter at where I can solve math problems really fast and can surprisingly multi-task well. Except the fact that everytime I read a book, I will read the same sentence multiple times just to understand what it means. AND I CAN'T FUCKING FALL ASLEEP.

>> No.7592898

it's literally the opposite

basically everyone thinks a shit ton laying in bed, how tired you are is the most common thing to affect how hard of a time you have falling asleep.

"people with higher intelligence" would actually be arguably better at getting to sleep by controlling their thoughts, sort of meditatively, to under think until they fall asleep

Dunno the reason why, but I've always had trouble sleeping and I'm unusually intelligent. So is my second son, and he also can't sleep well.

But my daughter may be smarter than both of us, and she sleeps easily.

as a anon with ADHD i can say that you are almost true for me

Nope.

It's caused by the blue light emitted by your laptop, tv and iphone. They block melatonin which is involved in sleep.
