Yeah, but I can sleep on stimulant medication. That's what's so weird with the ADHD brain and stimulants. It turns off my spiderweb brain.

But the reality of it is I can't seem to choose when I sleep. I've been doin ok lately tho

That moment the meds are kicking in and the wave of calm arrives and takes over for a moment. The beautiful silence of just being. So called stimulants make me zen like a meditating monk at optimal dosage.

Sometimes I take a small dosage to fall asleep when I feel my brain is spinning in pointless circulating understimulated overdrive, it's not only keeping me balanced during the day, but also sometimes helps me fall asleep at night.
