And even the, I don't know if you get this, but I've known a lot of ADHD folks. They can't sleep and it's not even because they can't sleep. It's because they can't turn their brain off at night. There's 10 million things going through their head and their whole day has to go through... preview again. Like, did I say this right? Did I do this right? Did I open this door right?
And this hyper fixation. And it's interesting, a tool that I have that I share with my patients is I will actually, if it's getting really bad enough that I can't go to sleep, I will get up and write down every single thing that I am hyper fixated on. And I tell myself I will deal with this in the morning. And interestingly, when I look at it in the
Yes.
It's been processed.
And the brain can relax. Another trick I just learned, which actually worked quite well for me recently when I couldn't fall asleep because I was ruminating, was you take a word that you're familiar with, like the example they gave was piano, and you start with the first letter P and you start going through every single word you know that starts with a P for maybe 10 seconds.
And then you go to I, and then you go through every word you know that starts with I, and on, you know, and so forth. And by the time I got to O, I was like, this is not freaking working. And I start going through all of the words I could think of that start with O and I was immediately asleep. So just something, I forgot how they termed it, but it was basically you're kind of toggling the brain.
You're mind switching. You're switching up what the brain's doing instead of, you're allowing it to use the fact that it's on and it's, feeling like it needs to be on and it needs to be hypervigilant, but you're rerouting it into a different behavior. And I thought that was really interesting. So something for the listeners to try if you are, but I do like the note idea because you're right.
And guess what? When you're in perimenopause, you will forget it. You could be in the shower having the most brilliant idea in the world. And by the time I get out of the shower to write it down, it's gone. Yeah.
It was really important and it's gone. It's gone. I figure if it's, I give myself grace and I think if it's important enough, it'll come back. But another great thing I do is I have all of my creative brilliance when I'm in water. So if I'm in the tub or I'm in the shower and stick a whiteboard in your shower. Yeah. With a pen.
Yeah, just put a whiteboard somewhere where the water's not actually going to rinse it off. And then you can remember everything you need to remember because as you're shampooing your hair and that brilliant thought comes in, you can just write it down.
I wish you could talk to my husband because he is always like, why is the Instant Pot and the Ninja and everything on the counter? We have under counter space where we've made room specifically for that item, but yet you keep it on the counter. I'm like, because I'll forget to use it if I don't have it. If I don't have it out.
And the same thing, I have this whole elaborate supplement organization system in one cabinet underneath the counter on the island. And yet I have all of the ones I'm taking right out on top because I'll forget to take them. And he doesn't understand the mess. And to me, there is no mess. I don't even see it. It's just, yeah. So it's a thing.
I really appreciate you saying that because he has his own form of ADHD, which is a different form. But his is... Actually, you know, I think he's onto something. He spends, he's a farmer. He spends all day outside either tinkering around with mechanics because he's a diesel mechanic. He can fix anything. He can build anything. He can make anything happen.
And so he's outside all day in the elements, no matter rain or shine or cold. We're in Oregon. It's not that warm. many months of the year. And yet if he doesn't do that, he is a nightmare to be around. But if he does do that and he comes home super dirty, covered in grease and dirt and exhausted in the evening as the sun's waning and he goes and takes a shower, happiest, feed him, happiest man.
But without that, he really starts to eat himself. You know, you start to go inside and internalize and get real grumpy. So different version. Yeah.
Yes, yes. And for me, it's the gym. But if it doesn't happen, I am batshit crazy and unpleasant to be around. Yeah. for everyone involved. And I start thinking up all of the things like I start hyper, you know, you start worrying about things outside of your own onus of control and the world's problems and the global problems and everything becomes a big deal.
And that is so well managed with exercise, I found. Absolutely.
Well, this is how we stay successful because I do believe it gives you – to bring the positive back in, it gives me a massive competitive advantage. I am a tenacious terrier dog. I will dig up my bone and I will – if I have to go at it eight different ways, I will dig up my bone. So I don't fail at anything. I just look at – the non-successes as an opportunity to reroute and try something else.
I don't ever just bag it. I'm like, well, that didn't work. What will? Let me try something else. Let me try something else. And I go at it eight different ways. If I am not physically well, if I'm exhausted, if I'm underfed, if I'm not well nourished, if I'm not well slept, if I'm not well exercised, I... am so off my mark and everything suffers, including my relationships.
So that is extra motivation for me to stay very, very healthy and to take very good care of myself because I don't feel like I have the option to not. If I want the people around me to tolerate me, my promise to that, I mean, I tell when I got into my relationship with my husband a few years ago, I was like, just to let you know, I'm a quirky one. Like I'm a weird, I'm a weird girl.
