I wish coffee was a big drug for me like everybody else.

This is gonna be stupid and vague but my brain only shifts into high-activity write-mode at like 2 or 3 am. I get hit with genuis ideas and brilliant little plots, and then I have two options: wreck myself on an all-nighter before work, or sleep on these ideas and be unable to write jack shit next morning.

It's so stupid, all through the day my brain is asleep, then at night I become borderline manic and wanna write shit. Why, pls help.

BIT IDEA: 48 hour days where I get that maybe four hours of being free from anxiety-inducing external pressure. Just dont fuckin sleep lmao.

    ADHD? If so having diurnal patterns and energy spikes is sadly normal.

        If coffee makes you sleepy instead of energised it might be ADHD.

          I think it does nothing to me, is that still adhd? Also I wish I could fill this out and it would score me, my brain is melted.
