Feeling constantly tired during the day?
Research shows that excessive daytime sleepiness can weaken the brain’s default mode network (DMN) — the part of your brain that helps with focus, emotional balance, and self-awareness. This is especially important for people with ADHD, where a sluggish DMN can make emotional regulation even harder. At Verenigma, we focus on supporting this network through affect labeling, helping you build better emotional clarity and more consistent focus, starting with sleep.
A study published in Sleep looked at brain scans of both young and older adults, and found that those experiencing more daytime sleepiness had significantly lower DMN connectivity. This suggests that poor sleep doesn’t just make you tired — it can actually reduce the brain’s ability to manage emotions and process thoughts effectively. That’s why improving sleep quality and emotional awareness can go hand-in-hand, and why tools like Verenigma can play a powerful role in breaking the cycle.
