wow i feel so validated seeing this post and responses i literally dropped out of college because i would try and study and just fall asleep it became a joke with friends because they would find me sleeping in all corners of the campus- library cafeteria under a tree in a hallway i desperately tried to change my surroundings stick to a schedule drink a bunch of water drink a bunch of caffeine and nothing ever worked   the only way i ever described it to people-  its like my mind is so under stimulated that its just like okay bye and i get narcoleptic   ive been experimenting with medicine for the first time ever the past few months and the biggest thing ive noticed is that my stimulant makes it so i can actually do a thing when i get home from work i dont get that overwhelming exhaustion during a task or during the middle of the day   crazy stuff truly if id known about my adhd years ago i may have made it through school
