So, when a Facebook notification would ping me, I’d always check in case it was news from home or something important. Rest can be very difficult because, on the days when nothing’s going on, it feels like I’m missing out on something, even though I know that if something were happening, I’d have been invited or I wasn’t wanted there. I still have to remind myself that it’s OK to do nothing when I feel like I’m under-living by staying in on a Friday night. My adult ADHD means I’m always busy, mostly because boredom physically hurts. ![]() It was like hearing a dripping kitchen tap when you’re snug in bed. I’d turn it over or cover it, but it was my alarm, and I snooze, so I couldn’t risk muffling it. It would still flash a tiny blue LED for Facebook notifications and a little green one for WhatsApp. ![]() Silencing it didn’t curb the phone distractions. So as my British mates were chatting, I’d be in bed or busy, and vice versa. ![]() When I lived in Indonesia, I was 8 hours ahead of my friends and family in the UK. I’ve always struggled with sleep, and my phone hasn’t helped.
