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.

I have more symptoms than just difficulty falling asleep. Cataplexy during strong emotions is consistent, as well as night sweats, and some other things.

It was actually my PCP that suggested it. I was like nahhh that's impossible, then I learned it's not like it is in the movies. But then I lost my insurance so I haven't really had the opportunity to investigate it properly.

I'm pretty sure I either have narcolepsy or delayed sleep phase syndrome, but narcolepsy fits more symptoms.
