Science Daily on ADD

IMG_5369 In my last post, I put a link to an article in Science Daily about blue-blocking glasses, sleep, and ADD symptoms. Turns out this online publication has summaries of tons of interesting studies about ADD. Just go to Science Daily and search on ADHD. Here are just a few of the pieces that grabbed my attention:

    Why Call It ADD?

    • The name is so wrong. ADD stands for attention deficit disorder, and ADHD adds an H for hyperactivity. I use the former, since I don't have the H thing.

      But a deficit of attention? I think most of us with ADD would agree we have more like a surplus of attention. And a disorder? That leaves out our strengths.

      Still, I use ADD because it's a widely understood term for a useful concept. When you comment on this site, feel free to use whatever term you're comfortable with.

    You Can Meditate!

    • Links to Online Guided Meditations
      Research suggests that meditation might help address the symptoms of ADD (and a lot of other conditions). But if you have ADD, you might find it hard to meditate. I compiled this list of online guided meditations. See if they help!
