Dr. Patrick LaCount, “If you need to pick between exercise and getting enough sleep, sleep.” This is coming from someone who researches the positive impacts of exercise on ADHD. However, prioritizing sleep doesn’t mean getting as much sleep as possible, or even getting eight hours. The amount of sleep we need varies from person to person and changes over our lifetime. According to experts, you should aim to sleep long enough to fulfill your intrinsic sleep needs. In other words, we should be aiming for enough sleep so that we feel refreshed and alert, not dull and sleepy.
