    ADHD and Alcohol: Why Drinking Can Quiet a Restless Mind
    Oct 11 2026
    Why do some adults with ADHD describe feeling calmer after consuming alcohol? This episode examines the relationship between ADHD, impulsivity, emotional regulation, and alcohol use. We explore how temporary relief can reinforce drinking behavior while potentially worsening executive functioning and sleep. Discover why ADHD is associated with an increased risk of problematic alcohol use and what the research reveals about this connection.

  • Are Screens Destroying Children’s Attention Spans?

    Are Screens Destroying Children’s Attention Spans?
    Oct 4 2026
    Parents and teachers increasingly describe children who struggle to read for twenty minutes, finish homework without checking a device, or tolerate even a few minutes of boredom. Research does show an association between heavier screen exposure and attention difficulties, although the evidence does not prove that smartphones or tablets directly cause ADHD. Several large studies have found that children and adolescents with heavier or more problematic digital-media use subsequently report more symptoms of inattention or ADHD. Researchers are also investigating indirect mechanisms involving sleep, constant novelty, reward, and the displacement of activities that require sustained concentration. In this episode, we separate what the research actually shows from the popular claim that screens are simply “destroying” children’s brains.

But does sugar actually worsen ADHD symptoms, or are other factors creating the appearance of a connection? In this episode, we separate observation from evidence and examine what research tells us about sugar, attention, and hyperactivity.
