questions about the ADHD possible component. So the other sort of real life diagnostic test I had, if someone during the evaluation would say something like, or in a subsequent session, oh, it was four o'clock yesterday and I just realized I hadn't eaten all day. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

I mean, I have people who diet, I have people who have fasting regimens or others, but they're not forgetting to eat. And it's not that everyone with ADHD does that, but either not getting the right interoceptive cues from your body or not paying attention to them is something that's been measurable in people with ADHD.

So having a regular meal schedule. And again, getting back to the COVID in workplace. I had lots of people in tech who really lamented, now I have to work from home. They were giving me lunch, a healthy, nice lunch each day at work. They're scrambling to even use the home meal delivery systems because getting that organized and set up is just too overwhelming for them.

That can be one variation. But it's often just completely forgetting or being oblivious to it. I mean, the other ways ADHD can play a role is I was meaning to have breakfast before I left the house, but always when it's time to leave the house, you forget that you hadn't done this, and the kids' shoes need to be tied, and oh... Do I need a new toothbrush?

I better go check upstairs before I go out because I'm going to the CVS store. I mean, time management is a problem with ADHD, an executive function problem. Interestingly, it's not one of the 18 symptoms in our official checklist. So our official checklist is... sort of a crude clinical attempt to map out a lot of the aspects of ADHD, but it misses a lot. So there's emotional regulation problems.

Matthew Walker in his great book on sleep, one of my favorite things about it is he really emphasizes this point that quality sleep isn't just about eight hours. It isn't just duration. It's getting quality sleep And the timing of your sleep is every bit as important as the duration. So if you're used to sleeping midnight to 8 a.m. and you're staying up dancing or partying until 4 a.m.,
