Ep #155: Why Mornings Are Tough with ADHD...and What To Do About It

‱ Rina Meushaw ‱ Season 1 ‱ Episode 155

Ever feel like mornings are out to get you? đŸ˜« If you have ADHD, getting out of bed, out the door, and into your day can feel extra hard. In this episode, we unpack why mornings can be such a challenge for ADHD brains—and what small, doable tweaks can make them smoother.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why circadian rhythms mess with your mornings (and how to gently reset them)
  • How executive function makes morning routines feel impossible
  • The truth about time blindness (and why “15 minutes” is never actually 15 minutes)
  • How to prep the night before so mornings don’t feel like a disaster movie 🎬
  • What to do about that foggy medication gap and sensory overload

If mornings make you want to scream into your thermos, this episode is for you. You’re not lazy—you just need some ADHD-friendly support to start your day on a better note.
