Do you struggle to get going in the morning? You’re not alone! This week Sarah and Skye dig into the latest research around sleep inertia to get to the bottom of why so many of us with ADHD can be slow to start. They also examine a paper on the mechanics of distraction and discuss why ADHD can be a marker for obesity in later life.
