    Adderall makes me feel kinda tired actually so I rarely take it. Only for tasks that I feel are important. I likely have undiagnosed narcolepsy, which is treated with higher doses of stimulants, so that might be why. It’s probably treating both, so I CAN focus, but it also makes me able to sleep when I otherwise couldn’t, so it’s a double edged sword where I get shit done but kinda just feeling drained.

    ADHD isn’t enough, we also get a disproportionately high amount of sleep disorders to pair with it!

      I used to find that. It turned out I was just chronically tired. I couldn’t sleep properly until I was exhausted. Once I was medicated, it hit me. It took a while to relearn sleeping. It might just be that you need more sleep than you think.
