Oh yes, and a big thanks to Larynxa for her suggestions and shared experiences. I made the mistake of falling asleep with the TV on when I was a bachelor. I need to invest in a sleep timer for my own iPod device, and use it for white noise when I want to relax and read.

Thanks so much, everyone! I even got Rick Green to chime in on this one on his Facebook post. I’m now realizing that just having any print reading material tends to work best, and audio books are a very strong #2. I have to remember that I’m supposed to drift off to sleep first, not try to be spending the time processing so much data in my head at that time (so I can process data much better the next day!)

Thanks for your feedback and insight! I wholly agree with you on how Social Media poses special opportunities and challenges to ADDers — perhaps an ideal industry to actually work in, if you can only remember to not be impulsive and immediately react to things without thinking them through just a bit. Fortunately I have found a good resource with Peter Shankman, founder of HARO (Help a Reporter) who gave a presentation on ADHD and Social Media back in 2012 for a Learning Disabilities conference. There’s a recorded audio and I’m talking with the organizer of the event this Friday. Also, I believe Peter has mentioned his ADHD condition on his own site, so I’ll check out his past blog posts on that as well.  Just that along with comments like yours, should provide a very helpful post! Hopefully the folks at TotallyADD will link to it and promote is as well. 🙂
