Yep, I have a strong reduction in the ongoing stress which keeps me awake. If I want to have a nap in the day I take my stimulants before it and I can actually sleep, otherwise not a chance.
Same here! I get to actually focus on things, my brain is clear, and I can actually think in a straight line. But boy do I get sleepy if I let myself. If I have a task, I’m fine, but if I take em without some kind of task or to-do item I just end up taking a nap. A wonderful, wonderful nap.
Also, weirdly, my tourette’s and OCD tics are majorly reduced for about 6 hours after taking my meds. I started taking them and only realized I had reduced tics when a friend mentioned to me that I wasn’t doing a particular thing that had been plaguing me for a while. Made the connection after a few more days of paying attention, and mentioned to my doc. She thought that was wild, because ADHD meds are apparently bad for making tics worse

Wierdly, sometimes my ADHD meds make me dead tired
