Whenever I feel exhausted from focusing, I lie down in bed, put the covers over me and just BE.. Because of the Vyvanse maybe, I don't actually fall asleep - Sometimes I do if I'm really tired.. But not when I usually do it @ around 4-6pm. I lie there for 30-60 minutes and just think and experience.. The reason is that it doesn't require a lot of focus just "Soft focus" which is what I really need during those times.

I get focus exhaustion. It's like a form of sleep and changed the brain waves by giving the mind time to relax.

Then when I'm done, I feel much more aware, clear minded, happier, focused, relaxed etc
