Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

Extreme anxiety.

For the longest time, I couldn't recruit enough concentration to get homework or big projects done until it was this huge looming threat. Frequently, that would involve an all-nighter since it was something due the next day. Other times, it meant cranking out last night's math assignment in home room mere minutes before it was due. It turns out that adrenaline and other stress hormones are great at shoving all the ADHD noise out of the way, however temporarily.

This was it for me, entirely. Deadlines were my drug.

Interesting experience. My partner who we suspect has ADHD always used to be up all night writing essays on the deadline in uni too.
