Hmm, I’m not one of those ADDers. I wake up within about 20 minutes of falling asleep, wake up every 2 hours, and wake up earlier and earlier in the morning. But on ritalin, no problem getting to sleep and staying asleep – if I wake up and have to go the bathroom (I’m a frequent pee-er), I can ignore it and get back to sleep.

I can’t get an official written diagnosis until I have a sleep study done, I have a consultation mid-Sept, it will probably take a few months for that to happen and then a few months for my doc to treat the sleep issues (if any) and then my ADD psychiatrist consultant a few months to see me again and issue the formal report. What a pain in the butt this is!
