    You need downers to ride the uppers and get that perfect drug fueled circadian rhythm going.

    Energy drinks during the day and a nice indica bong/dab rip, edible, or blunt in the evening.

    Warning: If things have escalated to cocaine/meth/adderall to go up and opiates and a handy from the local masseuse to go down, you’re probably riding the rhythm too hard.

    /s please take care of yourself!

      Me actually. I take vyvanse to manage my ADHD and it is one of the few medications that has legitimately helped in a major way. 2 problems though; I struggled with bouts of insomnia before taking vyvanse and for whatever reason most medications last longer for me than they do for others. So about a year into using vyvanse my partner assures me that yes my insomnia has gotten much worse and I need to do something about it before it actually kills me. So for about 6 months now I have been working with my doctor to get some sleep meds bc mind you I do NEED the vyvanse (or a extended release stimulant of some kind) in order to function in this society. In these 6 months I was perscribed 2 sleep meds. One of them made me pass out really quick but it was nearly impossible to get out of bed in the morning and I felt like I had brain fog for hours. The second one was basically fucking melatonin (it was an analog known as ramelteon) and it made it harder to sleep if anything at all.

      So anyway know I smoke weed almosy nightly. Sleep like a baby but I will admit it does occasionally interfere with my responsibilities lol

      Thats a bit simplistic.

      Caffiene has a half life of 5 hours, which is to say in 5 hours your average person will have metabolised half the dose. So if you have 200mg at lunch time, at 5pm your still feeling the effects of 100mg, it could take 10 hours to completely clear your system. If you’re sensitive to Caffiene,have a low tolerance or metabolise it slower you might have trouble sleeping before midnight.

      I have a biblical tolerance, I’m up at 4am for work and I’m on a pretty serious cutting diet. I have my preworkout can at 3:30pm and have no trouble sleeping at 8:30 to 9pm.

    ADHD would like a word.

    Just watch me insert caffeine straight into my veins and also take a nap within 10 minutes.

      I actually drink something very similar (zero sugar) as well! Sio it in the morning, stay hydrated… the insomnia is something I’ve had since I was a kid, unsuccessfully treated. At least I don’t have to sleep as much as average people!

    I tried Brite, a bit more healthier version of energy drinks, and I’m feeling much better not forcing myself to drink what tastes like battery acid in the morning. Still, the best would be to just stay away from caffeine, I had some periods like that lasting several months, was feeling great, and sleeping great

      is Brite even worth trying, i mean 2€ per can is pretty much more expensive than anything comparable on the market.

        I ended up around 1.3 per can, ordered 3 boxes with some discount. Will order one again soon, as they are throwing me another discount if I leave a review.

        Defintely not cheap, but also not too far from brand name energy drink prices in Germany. Of course in Easter EU you can get Hell or something similar for around 0.5-0.6, it’s hard to beat that.

    Me: I’ve cut my coffee intake down to one cup a day! Look how disciplined and restrained I am!

    Also me: drinks 1.5 cans of Celsius per day

      I actually do drink one cup of coffee a day. But it’s a pretty big cup, so it probably has the same amount of caffeine as 1.5 Celsius cans anyway.

      Not even sleeping during the day fixes my sleep deprivation. This is starting to be a major health problem.
