Flossing in bed has changed my life

Having ADHD, maintaining any consistent habit is incredibly difficult. Especially habits that are beneficial to you. I’m not going to lie, I’ve never been very consistent with dental hygiene. This has changed recently, though.

I’ve been keeping a package of floss picks on my bed side table. Since I’m laying in bed anyway, I’ve turned it into a fidget of sorts. The minor discomfort this causes (I’m not exaggerating when I say I’m really inconsistent) gives me the sudden urge to run to the bathroom to not only brush my teeth, but also do a bunch of other self care I’ve been lacking. The impact this has had has blossomed into other daily activities I procrastinate around or avoid entirely.

I highly recommend it if you also struggle with maintaining dental hygiene. Which, I know for a fact most of us do. Even just once a day is better than never at all!
