Is anyone else on ADHD meds and struggling to sleep before school without resorting to alcohol or other medications? It’s really frustrating—I can’t seem to get any rest, no matter how long I try. I’ve been at it for hours and just decided to give up. Since I’m already dealing with alternative school, I’m honestly not too bothered at this point… I just feel completely exhausted.
It sounds really tough to deal with that struggle. ADHD meds can definitely mess with sleep, and it’s frustrating when you can’t get the rest you need, especially before school. Have you had a chance to talk to your doctor about your sleep issues? Sometimes there are changes that can be made, whether it’s adjusting your medication or trying different strategies for sleep. You’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to feel drained. Make sure to take care of yourself as best as you can.
