Hey Kiddos!
Here's the story. I dont sleep well/much at night. I also suffer from ADD and during school am on 45mg adderall a day. In the summer I am off completely.
Anyways, I went in for a sleep study, and had the best nights sleep of my life. The only thing they found was one instance of apnea and nothing else. Normally I wake up naturally a handful of times and each time it takes some time to go to bed. Initially going to bed usually takes a few hours after I start trying. Once a week or less I do get an OK nights sleep as I did there. I still woke up very tired. During the day I fall asleep easily and often by accident. My sleep during the day still sucks the gopher nads though.
Anyways according to said sleep doctor, current findings say that the normal theraputic dose of ADD medication (I think it would be 20-25 for me) about 1 hour before bed. I am supposed to try this on friday. Anyone have any suggestions? I am thinking of saying that it helped very slightly or something like that.
Also I will be going in for a day test to see if I suffer from slight narcolepsy(spelt wrong?). I am thinking that has abuse potential. Anyone had this done? Recomendations? I am thinking about starving myself of sleep for a week before and just falling asleep there 4-5 times throughout the session. I am thinking hey, at worst I get nothing, at best I get a lifetime supply of amphetamines? Hell I may actually have it slightly, I do fall asleep driving often...

oh yeah, I am thinking that if you do get amphetamines/stimulants for narcolepsy, and if people with ADD dont get stimulant affects at lower dosages.....higher dose than normal or is this just a wet dream of mine?
