It's no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I'm curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

2 hours before: Dim the lights and huff some melatonin

2 - 1 hour: Get in bed and read a book. Maybe some more melatonin

Then fall asleep

I don't use my phone or any electronics and try not to talk too much with my roommates during that time. I also found that if I take ritalin or drink coffee less than like 8 hours before sleep, that I have more trouble falling asleep.

Obviously your mileage may (and will) vary
