I have ADHD and stimulants actually have a calming effect on my mind. Coffee (especially when hot) literally makes me sleepy.
Same, but (at least in my case) you can’t ever listen to that bastard brain and do more than a small amount. The margin is thin and the prize of folly is being up at 3AM, yawning sleepily, but awake.
That used to be me. I often had a empty coffee mug on my bedside table, because i had coffee before i went to sleep. Now if i have coffee after 8pm, no sleep for me.
I was legitimately in my late 30s when I first realised this about myself too; the sheer amount of caffeine I can be on (upwards of 300mg pre-workout for an evening gym session), and be pretty much asleep before my head hits the pillow.
I have no idea the long-term impact this level of stimulants would have on my health (but I doubt it’s good), but it works!
My wife is extremely jealous of this, if she so much as looks at a bottle of Coke after 4pm she has trouble sleeping… 🤣
Wait, caffeine actually keeps you all awake? It usually just makes me more tired. I only drink it to keep the withdrawls at bay.
I wish. Cortado at 4 and I still fall asleep as soon as I sit down after dinner sometimes.
Especially once the clocks change. Swear there’s like a month where I’m falling asleep at 6pm and waking up fucking ready to go at 2 am.
