Your ADHD brain can actually “sleep” when you’re awake

Have you ever felt like your ADHD brain zones out during tasks? Science now has some answers. A new study found that adults with ADHD more frequently slip into episodes of “sleep-like” brain activity during boring or repetitive tasks. Of course, everyone experiences moments when their mind wanders or goes blank, especially when they’re doing something tedious. But it’s more common with ADHD. This helps shed light on why it can be so tricky to stay focused on tasks. It has nothing to do with laziness — your brain is hitting a wall and taking a rest. #UnderstoodNews #ADHD
