Stimulants Can't sleep.

Take some vitamins, specifically vitamin C. Get yourself hydrated and eat a meal.

Next time you take Adderall, don't mix it with caffeine/coffee. :)

Hey there, welcome to Bluelight :)

Like NT said, amphetamines don't mix well with caffeine, but to those of you in the same situation, here are some cheap and easily obtainable OTC hypnotics:

-Melatonin at 1mg (more can be counter-productive)
-Doxylamine Succinate, the sedating ingredient in Nyquil, at 12.5-25mg (half to one blue tablet)


Also, you should take 1000mg Vitamin C after a good meal with water, since Vitamin C makes your system more acidic and prevents the reabsorption of amphetamines
 
I think the problem with sleeping after amphetamine is due to the pathyways down the brain and out the drain.
DA to NE, all the way to cortisol, the stress hormone.
There's many more posts here that are much more in depth. I don't really see another way around it though rather than pure exhaustion; but are the highs worth the lows?
Vitamin C will make will make a person piss more, but it's not really good after d-amps have taken their hold.
Melatonin; I've yet to try. In my basic theory, tryptophan ( from supplements or foods, the likes of turkey) converts to Serotonin; and when it gets dark converts to Melatonin.
From what I read way back, d-amps increase blood pressure; so it's always good to have a beta-blocker at hand, propranolol perhaps.
In the end; you tough it out or take something with a 'pam' at the end.
One drug leads to another drug.
 
Most of the posters above me have this covered but i have a couple things i do personally that aren't listed.

On top of everything above i find that herbal supplements with antispasmodic properties help me just lay in bed long enough to sleep. Try valerian root and chamomile tea. As far as the valerian root goes take tums or an antacid with it just because it contains valeric acid which can upset the stomach.

Ending with the absolute best thing to take if your amped and need to sleep: Seroquel. Seroquel is a dopamine antagonist and it removes all that dopamine that was released upon using the amphetamine. This drug will knock you out cold at 50mg for a good 12 hours.
