Hello and welcome to Sci Guys, the show where we talk about the crazy, weird and wonderful stories from the science world.

I'm Corey, and as always, I'm joined by my co-host, the lethargic Luke Cutforth.

You know what? True. This week we're talking about circadian science and maladaptive melatonin.

But first look, I've got a little question for you.

Question ahead.

Do you have ADHD and how is your sleep? Two questions. I lied. There's two questions. Answer them now. Bad is the answer to both of those. Snap. Same. So we're talking about this whole... You sent this to me, actually, didn't you? Probably. I don't remember anything that happened more than yesterday. That's because of the ADHD. No, you sent me this study. Well, you didn't send me this study. What you sent me was a tweet.

Ah, that's the limit of my abilities, Corey. I scroll and I send.

And from that tweet, I found this study, which was linked there, which I assume you haven't read.

Oh, is this to do with basically treating ADHD as

a circadian rhythm disorder? Yes, it is. I do remember reading about this. Yes, and I did actually

click on the link and read a little bit more. I'll have you know. Oh, well, well done. Good job.

We're on evil voting then, because I didn't read any more than that five-page paper.

So when did they knight Mr. Acadian science?

That was good. Thank you. That was good. It was severely delayed, which makes sense because of the ADHD, right? That checks out. Well, I couldn't interrupt your intro, Gary. Oh, no, you've never done that before. Not once. That would just be uncouth. No, so this study, you sent it to me, as I said,

it's about ADHD stuff, circadian rhythm

disorder, circadian rhythm being, you know, the thing that makes you go to sleep and wake up

at the right time.

We both have ADHD.

Yeah, I spent my 20s basically being like, why do I have a thing where I want to go to sleep at like three in the morning and I can work until three or four in the morning and go to sleep and wake up at midday. And that's when I get my best work done. And if I try to work at normal hours like a normal person, I don't get anything done. And then someone was like, maybe I have ADHD. And then I spent three hours, three years being like, no. This is just a personal choice I'm making. I'm pretty sure on the podcast, in the ADHD episode, I was like, hey, I think I'm, like, I have two of these things. I might have ADHD and I was shut down so immediately, like being told, no, that's, that's not enough. To be fair, though, I didn't realize all of the other things

that meant that I had ADHD at the time. That too, yeah. I mean, this story, basically, this

study when I saw it, hooked into two of my great loves that will get my attention, which is first,

reading about ADHD and how to improve it. And second, reading about how it's not actually real
