For me, stimulants at bedtime make me sleepy. Weirdest fucking thing.

[-] Broadfern@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

Probably easier to relax when your brain shuts up

[-] GerardsGuitar@retrolemmy.com 5 points 6 months ago

That's what I found

[-] mycelium_underground@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Paradoxical stimulant reaction, your brain gets enough dopamine to function and realizes you are tired.

[-] CucumberFetish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Amphetamines and caffeine= sleepy time

[-] Jinarched@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Same. I think it's quite common for some people with adhd.

[-] henchmannumber3@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

Taking the Adderall is necessary before sorting the Adderall.

So, so true.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

At night? i broke my rule and drank a single fucking coffee at lunch, it's now 4 am and I haven't slept yet.

[-] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 months ago

Sounds like you need better organizational system for your drugs...

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 months ago

I use a pill organizer. Put both the AM and PM meds in the PM side. First time I've ever done that.

[-] GerardsGuitar@retrolemmy.com 10 points 6 months ago

Meanwhile I take my ritalin and go to sleep regularly lol

LITERALLY ME

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

okay but hear me out. stimulants right before peak exhaustion so that I'll have vivid dreams about people I miss

"by accident"

[-] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago

Melatonin might help

If I take melatonin when I’m not on my meds, I fall asleep fast enough but don’t sleep very well and have odd dreams.

If I take my meds but not melatonin, I tend to stay awake a long time.

If I take melatonin while my meds are in my system, I sleep for almost exactly 7.5hrs and wake up automatically, well rested.

No idea why that is. Anyone else relate?

[-] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 2 points 6 months ago

Melatonin only resets your clock, not makes you sleepy, it's placebo.

[-] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Idk about it helping me fall asleep faster, but the precision amount of time I stay asleep when on my meds seems to fit with “resetting my clock”

[-] Sunbutt23@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I would take vyvanse, then pass out and get woken up 2hr later by it. Loved it at the time. But I decided I was abusing it and needed to stop. I just raw dog life now.

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 6 points 6 months ago

Meanwhile I take Vyvanse and sleep the night away…

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

All-nighters!

But the morning after...

[-] lemmy_acct_id_8647@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

"By accident"

Goodness. Stimulants are the o ly thing keeping the horrors of the next day at bay.

[-] TangledRockets@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Oh i did this recently. Do not recommend. I was fried for days.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Smoke/vape/dab some weed. A good strain high in mycrene, linalool, and/or terpinoline will override even the strongest stimulants.

Huh? Your previous comment has no downvotes...

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago
[-] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Deleted comments still retain their up/downvotes.

It currently has one upvote (from you).

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Well then whatever app you're using to see uovote counts of deleted comments is wrong.

[-] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 2 points 6 months ago

It comes directly from the server. It's not wrong.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Doesn't matter what you say, I know what I saw with my own eyes.

Please stop replying. I have to get ready for work. You're distracting me.

[-] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 1 points 6 months ago

At best you got 1 downvote that the person retracted.

Either way adding spam by deleting and reposting because you didn't like the outcome of the voting is poor etiquette?

Please stop replying. I have to get ready for work. You're distracting me.

Huh? Manage your own notifications and distractions... I'm making public posts in a public space.

poor etiquette?

You certainly don't get to pass judgement.

Is it good etiquette to insult someones parents when insulting your target has no effect?
