I love this.
I partly see myself in this meme and I don't like it.
Caffeine addiction can also cause needing caffeine to sleep. Like, a very high amount of caffeine addiction. (Source: a phase where I needed caffeine to go to sleep.) Right up there with the caffeine withdrawal shakes.
One can additionally have ADHD.
I actually use monsters as a sleep aid.
If all the column B's describe me, is this meme a diagnosable test of ADD?
I didn't phrase that right but you know what I mean.
Yes, if column b fits you don't need to see a psychiatrist, you can just go straight to the pharmacy and pick up your 72mg extended release methylphenidate. /s

I'm not sure what the 'less sleep/mild cold' one is trying to say but it did make me realize something about myself. When I'm sick, but not super sick, I do find it very peaceful. It makes me okay with laying on the couch watching stuff all day long whereas if I were healthy I'd feel anxious about wasting my time.
I think that might be what it's trying to say except for the fact that that is NOT the case when I'm running low on sleep.
Same for me, my internal (probably wrong) explanation for this has been that it's quite similar to having something going on (in this case, the recovery from sickness) so that it's a bit easier for the brain to not actively worry and be useless.
I don't know if what I wrote makes sense, I'm not sick right now
I have a similar experience when I'm sick. I usually feel more calm and it seems easier to cook or read.
I do indeed remember a couple of dreams from when I was a very young child, didn't realise it was an adhd thing. At least caffeine works properly for me though.
Why don’t energy drinks work for us???
I don't know. When I was younger, caffeine made me sleepy. Nowadays, it makes me focus.
It's great to finish activities, but I cannot take it frequently as it affects my mood if I do so (bipolar disorder). It's only my emergency focus 🪄.
Caffeine and AD(H)D seem to have all kinds of funky relationships/cross effects
For the same reason Adderall let's us focus, while it makes everyone else jittery.
I don't know if I have ADD, but amphetamines definitely help me focus when the dosage is medical and the intent is not recreational. I haven't heard of anyone not being more productive if they pop 10mg of D-amph at work. People get jittery when they do lines of speed in a rave.
Chemicals are weird. Thanks a lot, brain.
Caffeine and I have a very strange relationship. Sometimes, it keeps me alert. Sometimes, it makes me crash within an hour of consuming it. I thought I didn't have ADHD for the longest time because I was told of I did have it, caffeine would make me sleepy.
I've found constantly slamming energy drinks throughout the day to be a semi effective way of getting through work.
For me it's music and pomodori
For me, it seems to have no effects. I've been known to down mugs full of coffee and still manage to fall asleep. (It gets the bowels running, though)
