I definitely have ADHD. But I am wondering if taking frequent naps is a symptom any of you experience? Maybe I'm just tired lol.
I'm not medicated for my ADHD right now.

I do. Sometimes it is because I get overwhelmed by my responsibilities and just want to escape the world. Othertimes, I am just lazy... but I think I do nap excessively

I get overwhelmed by my responsibilities as well and it does make me go to sleep instead.

I just am always tired. I would love to take frequent naps, but I have other things to do. I am a night owl also though, so I stay up a lot of nights. Even if I have 12 hours of sleep, I will feel tired after 3 hours awake. It sucks.

As soon as I have to concentrate on something difficult, I just want to lie down and fall asleep. It sucks.

I am always tired. My ADHD makes it difficult for me to fall asleep at night. I also find I get overwhelmed. With ADHD we are always taking in stimuli-it's harder for us to shut off. I Think we're constantly in a state of hyper-awareness which makes us more tired.

I had a horrible time falling asleep when I was on Adderall.

How about when you're not on stimulants. Is anyone sleepy then (and with reasonably consistency achieving decent sleep each night)?

That is what I mean. I am not on stimulants right now and so now it is incredibly easy for me to fall asleep...too easy. I can lie down at any time of day and fall asleep right away...and I will sleep for a long time. When I'm manic, it's a different story. But right now I'm not manic so sleep comes super easily to me right now. A lot of times I don't need to take my sleeping pills.

When not medicated, I find myself completely exhausted by the end of the day at work. I find myself trying so hard to focus and concentrate on things that it tires me out by the time I get home leaving me no energy for anything else.
