Disclaimer: of course, everything is a spectrum. To ADHD-people, caffeine has varying effects. Some get tired from it, others it affects less or not at all.
Don’t ever say “16 o’clock” ever again.
Okay, it’s gonna be 17 o’clock next time then.
Okay 🤷
But what about 20 o’clock?
Say no more
Most european o’clock 😂
I feel like this actually comes in handy when taking marijuana, as it also makes regular people sleepy. It just makes me feel like I’m in a dream.
Even for people who can sleep after drinking a ton of caffeine, it so negatively impacts your sleep quality, so you should still avoid it if possible.
With some late/extreme stages of ADHD you basically need to drink coffee to go to sleep and consume sleeping pills to not to.
Caffeine used to make me sleepy. I’d often have a cup straight before bed. As I get older it doesn’t have such a noticable effect on my but even black sugarless coffee really makes low blood sugar issues worse. If I drink it first thing in the morning and eat anything sugarry I’ll crash 20 minutes later.
I used to have the same problem with those Starbucks frape drinks in the glass bottles when I was younger.
I can’t drink caffeine anymore but eventually the effects had the intended result.
man…I miss caffeine…
I get a small rush for a few hours and then crash, usually helps me sleep better in the long run.
I get nothing from it, still feel tired and sleepy. But it stops me from sleeping, it’s the worst of both worlds
I get that too. I can have an energy drink and a coffee in the morning and still feel the need to sleep, but if I do much as have a small cup of tea late at night I don’t sleep.
Weirdly enough energy drinks work for me but I crash HARD when the effect wears off. I avoid them as much as possible
Sucks dude. Though at least ur not relying on monster ig. It does help me, but maybe that’s not such a good thing after all.
I have severe adult adhd and this has never been the case for me.
!adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com would also like this.
It was funny, at a work meeting a few months ago someone was having some coffee, and the director and a bunch of others chimed in that if they had coffee that late (11am) they wouldn’t be able to sleep later.
It’s funny how much if a spectrum there is. My wife gets stuck awake if she has caffeine after 3pm, and I have fallen asleep on nodoze more than once.
As if I could fall asleep that easy regardless of caffeine intake or not ;_;
Those lucid dreams I had after drinking a sugar free monster after dinner were something else.
I can have a 16oz energy drink and follow it up with a nap, but if I have more than that, I get anxious and uncomfortable, and I have to take a break because the stress wears me out.
I wish.
Maybe when I was young.
No I’m looking at giving up the caffeine totally because of old age, ADHD or not.
