I don’t think caffeine and certain ADHD meds are a good combo. I found that when I started night shift and drank lots of coffee to stay awake, the only thing the coffee did was make me restless and twitchy. And that’s without any medication. It did absolutely nothing to keep me from feeling tired. So I had a tired brain inside a body that couldn’t keep still. Ick!! Not pleasant. As soon as I stopped the coffee, I found I could sit still better. I was still tired, but I eventually got used to the night shifts and that eased off. Maybe you should avoid caffeine while on your ADHD drugs.
Hmmm…..chocolate sounds good…..
I have had sleep problems for ages. I remember reading in bed till the wee hours when I was younger, because I couldn’t sleep, and I also remember regular nights when my own thoughts kept me awake half the night, but I must have got into some sort of a routine, because for many years I was in bed at 8.30pm nearly every night and had fewer sleep problems. I stuck to that routine right into my adult life, but it went haywire when I started shift work, got even worse when I had kids, then really screwed right up when I started night shift. It’s the biggest price I have paid for a job I otherwise enjoy.
