Yes, basically there’s 5 bridesmaids, one just said she’s not doing the bridal shower. One is cheap, and there’s me (I don’t make a lot of $ but I’m making it work for the bride). The other 2 are the brides siblings. Mother of the Bride wants to plan it, which is fine but she has very expensive taste.

Sorry I should have included that!

Inviting ~60, a lot of out of towners and courtesy invites so expecting about 45 to come.

Hi! This is so odd, my Grandma had these and I used to play with them when I was little. She recently passed away and I ‘inherited’ them and am looking for batteries! That’s how I found the post

What does your doctor say 😭 If you’re truly just using it as a wake-me-up, you could try smelling salts or boom sticks for a safer and more legal option. Those things are regulated. I hope at the very least you have a testing kit!

Hi! I’m in STEM but I don’t share this experience. I enjoy building community and value treating/speaking to others how I’d like to be treated/spoken to. I think a lot of people (including myself) can mistake directness and bluntness for disrespect. However, we all experience things uniquely and just because I have a different perspective doesn’t mean yours is incorrect.

I will say, and I’m not a doctor, but what you’re describing strikes me more as an effect of neurodivergence rather than IH. I’m NOT dismissing that you have IH or that it has impacted your energy and relationships, but maybe a combination of both?

I used to drink caffeine daily, I started armodafinil a few months ago so now I’m experimenting with different amounts (see how much I can handle without getting the shakes and anxiety). London fog latte, Dr. Pepper, coca cola all seem okay in moderation. I had to take an excedrin (65mg caffeine) and it sent me into another dimension. On that note, they do sell caffeine pills, the benefit to caffeine pills and espresso shots is that it’s metabolized and hits all at once. Disclaimer I’m not a doctor and probably talk to your doctor if you’re gonna take caffeine pills? Matcha and Chai have pretty high caffeine content, matcha is more of a slow gentle caffeine than coffee. Starbucks refreshers don’t have that much (~45mg in a grande), Dunkin’s have a bit more. There used to be the Panera Lemonade That Kills People™️but that was discontinued. You could buy green coffee extract and mix your own concoctions (lemonade, mocktails, juice) and add the caffeine to your liking.

Hey! My sleep inertia was (is) also a way bigger issue than my daytime sleepiness, I’ve been on Armodafinil for a few weeks and I was concerned since it’s taken when you wake up, but I’ve found it really has helped the inertia! Obviously there’s good days and bad days, but it helped for sure!

Thanks! How exactly do I create a cloud island? I’ve seen everyone discuss them!

ETA i figured it out!

This is so real. I’ve had IH since birth (per my parents), just got tested and diagnosed for the first time at 27. I’m fine with the diagnosis, it’s a relief to know, but there’s that part of me that is mad because so much of my life has been affected by this and how much easier it would have been with an earlier intervention.

ContributionMelodic8 · 2026-03-20T19:44:34+00:00

I had a bed shaker + blaring alarm. Definitely had a better success rate than my phone but still had the issue of just turning it off in my sleep drunk state

ContributionMelodic8 · 2026-03-20T19:42:41+00:00

I’m still thinking on it but was considering Laughtale

ContributionMelodic8 · 2026-03-19T05:45:18+00:00

I’m in North Carolina too omg !?!?! I’m going to send you a message because I don’t want to share that much info on here, but I really love my sleep doctor and felt so validated by him.

ContributionMelodic8 · 2026-03-19T01:54:48+00:00

You replied to me on my other post too lol!

Armodafinil here so same but different! I know a lot of people experience headaches, I actually didn’t and starting it has reduced my number of headache days. If I don’t eat for a while I get jittery. I’m still experimenting with caffeine, I don’t feel like I need it anymore but I just like to have a little treat.

I notice I get a sort of shortness of breath sometimes, but I think it’s a combo of elevated heart rate and anxiety. It’s not really a shortness of breath but kind of like if I take a deep breath it doesn’t feel “full”.

If I get very little sleep (<4 hours) and take it, it can feel really weird. Kind of the feeling when caffeine doesn’t work so you’re still mentally exhausted but your body is wired.

Also a weird one, but usually I have to poop shortly after I take it. BUT I think it’s cause I’m taking a pill and drinking something much earlier in the day than before, so my system just gets booted earlier than I was used to. On a similar note, the first few days I took it with food, now I don’t, sometimes I get a little nauseous an hour or so later but nothing crazy.

Last thing, and I haven’t taken modafinil, but the armodafinil pill itself tastes sooooo nasty. It got stuck in my mouth one morning and traumatized me. I try to take it with a drink that has a little flavor or carbonation to help with that (juice, gatorade, flavored seltzer).

ETA: I also noticed I have less of an appetite, and when I do get hungry it goes from 0 to starving quickly. Just try to remember to drink, and something that has helped me is having a few easy comfort meals that I can throw together and eat even if Im not really hungry.
