I take Adderall only rarely now. If I take it on day N, it's pretty well guaranteed that my sleep schedule will be a mess by day N+2. But I've also found that taking Adderall for more than a few days has an ugly effect on my psychologically. So it's kind of a last resort. In general, my current modus operandi is: - Try to get good, consistent sleep. - Non-distracting home office. - Stimulants that are more gentle than Adderall: Vyvanse + coffee. (And stop taking any stimulants after 2 pm.)
