Same here! I get to actually focus on things, my brain is clear, and I can actually think in a straight line. But boy do I get sleepy if I let myself. If I have a task, I’m fine, but if I take em without some kind of task or to-do item I just end up taking a nap. A wonderful, wonderful nap.
Also, weirdly, my tourette’s and OCD tics are majorly reduced for about 6 hours after taking my meds. I started taking them and only realized I had reduced tics when a friend mentioned to me that I wasn’t doing a particular thing that had been plaguing me for a while. Made the connection after a few more days of paying attention, and mentioned to my doc. She thought that was wild, because ADHD meds are apparently bad for making tics worse
Yep, I have a strong reduction in the ongoing stress which keeps me awake. If I want to have a nap in the day I take my stimulants before it and I can actually sleep, otherwise not a chance.

Wierdly, sometimes my ADHD meds make me dead tired
