When is best time to cold plunge if you have adhd

• Short plunge: A very cold exposure of about 30 seconds to two minutes is one approach. Start warmer than you think you need to and ease into colder water over a few days; the discussed range is roughly 37–55°F. 3
• Strength or hypertrophy training: Avoid plunging within six hours after this kind of workout, since cold immersion may suppress the training adaptations. 4
