Literally me all the time forever. I slept 4 hours today. Help.
Just call up any random psychiatrist and tell them your reason for the appointment is medication recommendations.
In and out in 1 hour and they'll prescribe a whole boatload of crap if you're really messed up or just some Adderall for ADHD.
Except when the Adderall allows you to be mostly functional on three hours of sleep, effectively nullifying its effects on the ADHD but still enabling the bad habit of staying up all night.
I don't recommend it, but it is one way to live.
Me since I started studying. I'm trying not to do it much but it's just so easy to go to bed a little late every day.
And usually the negative effects just aren't there when I'm on my meds. Moreso when I'm out and about all day, then when a less busy day comes around and my body unwinds a little it all catches up to me.
It's not really how it works in my country
Sorry about that homie.
