1. Low quality research paper draws euphemistic link between sleep issues and ADHD which are common bedfellows, 2. Authors either ignorant of the fact that sleep disruption is commonly interlinked with conclusive ADHD diagnoses, or deliberately attempting to get clicks (and very probably both IMO), 2. Study concludes, like many others, that sleep is a contributing factor to some of the the neurological precursors to ADHD (i.e. some "ADHD-like symptoms" and "ADHD" are due to the same dopamine disregulation, even if one is a naturally occurring issue in an ADHD sufferer whilst the other is directly caused by sleep disruption in the aforelinked study) 3. You said: "So what about stims like amphetamine or cocaine? They provide even more impulsive tendencies and hyperactivity than a bad nights sleep." I understood this to mean that you could proceed to take stimulants after a bad night's sleep to heighten the impact on your ability as an entrepreneur, but I see from your confusion at my reply that it's possible you meant something closer to "If you want to be a better entrepreneur in line with the outcomes of this bullshit study, don't bother depriving yourself of sleep, just take stimulants which also cause the same behaviours." 4. My point: given that we are talking about the same chemical disruption, it seems likely that just as ADHD-sufferers experience paradoxical effects from stimulants, the impact of stims you are proposing would be ineffectual in heightening the behaviours of people who are sleep-deprived, and is more likely to have the typical paradoxical effect.

You should try adding your own comment, instead of replying to other's and pound some tangentially related point that you see. You clearly have something to say. It's just not really related to my comment.

  Thanks for the feedback! You come across as being upset about something, but it's not clear why. > instead of replying to other's and pound some tangentially related point that you see [sic] I'm trying to be kind by explaining this to you because as you said, "I don't understand," and it doesn't feel like you've read what I said to you in the previous post. The starting point I used was that I had been unclear and needed to consider other interpretations of your comment given your confusion. Maybe you could extend me that same courtesy and think about ways in which you might be misunderstanding! I'll simplify things again to see if that helps you out. It must be really confusing for you if you think that I'm replying to you with a comment which could be added to the top post instead of something which is only conceivable as a reply to you. 1. It is established that sleep dysfunctions cause short term dopamine disregulation and other imbalances, 2. This study links (spuriously) those imbalances and their associated behaviours to an increased desire for starting one's own business, 3. You commented referencing cocaine and other stimulants in a manner which was suggestive to me of a belief that they could heighten the imbalances referred to at 1 and 2, 4. I commented to observe that in individuals suffering from such imbalances, stimulants are often prescribed because of the paradoxical impact that they alleviate the symptoms by treating the imbalance. > It's just not really related to my comment. You are the only person in this thread discussing the impact of ingesting stimulants to either cause or extend the behaviours which the article discusses. Hope this makes sense now! :)
