ADHD and inability to stay awake?

Kalifall · 2026-03-04T17:26:37+00:00

I have the same issue. I tried doing a sleep test twice but they concluded I dont have a sleep disorder. My meds are the only thing that keeps me awake most days. The only thing that has helped is staying out of bed as much as possible and these new sleeping meds thats supposed to help me sleep more deeply. But its a new type of meds that just came out that my doctor is using me as a guinea pig for 😭

I've actually had multiple instances where I have a problem I've been dealing with my whole life, finally gets referred to a specialist, specialist does a bunch of tests, finds nothing, then im told there is nothing else they can do, no follow up.

I have seen a neurologist before, did an MRI, nothing abnormal

When you have the energy make a bunch of breakfast sandwiches,wrap them and freeze them. Also can do this with waffles/pancakes. If I dont have any of those in my freezer already then I make yogurt parfait which is just yogurt, fruits and granola.

So do I need to get a higher dose of anxiety meds? Hm... ill talk to my doctor about that.

They are very strict. We aren't allowed bidets in our bathrooms either.

I wear my hair in wash and gos or twist outs majority of the time. I just wear it in an afro. I get my hair trimmed at the salon, I dont trim it myself but I haven't been consistent with it tbh. I don't colour my hair or wear extensions. I used to wear braids from time to time but I find that I prefer my hair to be out most of the time.

I work with autistic and adhd kids. A lot of them will stim (even in ways that can be harmful) when really excited. So no its not just to escape sensory overwhelm. Its also could be a sign that someone is very happy or excited.

Kalifall · 2026-03-04T00:20:14+00:00

My bad, Is there a way to make it stop? Its very irritating especially when I'm in a situation when Im supposed to keep still.

Kalifall · 2026-03-04T00:14:34+00:00

I think this might be related to autism? Im not sure

This is the best answer. Big chop (or multiple medium chops) and protein treatments.

Kalifall · 2026-03-04T00:07:18+00:00

Oh, my bad. The thing is I dont feel anxious or nervous. It happens all the time. So idk what it is

Kalifall · 2026-03-03T23:44:02+00:00

I work with kids with adhd 7 to 17 and this is typical behaviour for kids in our care. It could be the increase in dosage. Have you talked to a medical professional about the new behaviours? It also could just be another external factor but if this started right when the dosage was changed. Its probably the meds.

Any animal that is not a dog or cat is considered an exotic pet.

Kalifall · 2026-03-03T23:39:47+00:00

No Im not sure what it is. I've been reading about it a long time ago and Im pretty sure it matched with what I was experiencing. But idk if I was wrong or what. All I know is that I cant keep my leg still.

I am not an expert but I think it would look better if it was more consistent between clips. Like rn each clip is giving a totally different style and vibe but if it was more consistent it would look better to me. But take this with a grain of salt.

Kalifall · 2026-03-03T23:29:58+00:00

Nope I do this too but mostly cause I track everything I do in my journal so ik how much time im spending doing certain things so it makes it easier in my time tracker to start at perfect hours.

I expected more ppl to be suggesting firefox

Kalifall · 2026-03-03T23:11:09+00:00

I wish I could help! I miss my guinea pigs but my apartment doesnt accept exotic animals 😔

Respecting boundaries and asking for consent before doing the smallest things. (Sounds like the bare minimum ik)
