Re: Monthly discussion: ADHD and Eating Problems

I’ve been told caffeine has little or no effect on those of us with ADHD. True? True for some? I decided to test the hypothesis the other night and found the strongest perked coffee I could, and enjoyed it at about 11:30 pm. I was sound asleep 15 minutes later, no sleep disturbance whatsoever. Which leads me to the next thing I’m, wondering about – guarana. Dr. Oz (on TV, yes daytime TV; no, I don’t know how accurate their info is) had some researcher on who suggested 1 tsp guarana in juice every morning (not related to ADHD but . . . ) Guarana seeds (beans?) have 250% more caffeine by volume than coffee beans. Is this a good idea or totally preposterous! I have major difficulty getting my days moving anywhere before 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Might this help me get a schedule that is somewhat aligned with the rest of my family?

To Webmaster: the correct spelling is sepArated, not sepErated BTW.
