Re: Waking up in the morning

What a great question!

I have been looking at my sleep habits and what affects my sleep.

I wake up around 6. When my eyes are open, the brain is engaged and going a million miles and hour. When I can, I take the bus to work, where I power nap on the way to and from work.

I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, and wake up thinking and aware.

I go to sleep at night around 12 midnight and start the cycle all over again.

I have done this since I can remember.

Adderall, makes my night time sleep lighter, and my power naps more difficult to do.

While I sleep? I write stories, solve problems and replay conversations I have been working on during the day. My dreams are at times interactive, meaning I can take an active role in them and direct them where I want to go.

I guess for me, “sleep” is something my body needs to rest, but my brain can’t be bothered with such things. I don’t know the mechanics of it, but for me it seems like it is just an altered state of consciousness.

Are there any studies out there that are looking into the brain activity of an ADD brain, vs a “normal” brain in sleep and awake states?
