In reply to ADHD and morning waking?, posted by cybercafe on September 9, 2003, at 23:33:35
I have ADD (w/o hyperactivity), and I personally find it near impossible to get my butt out of bed in the morning -- but even once I do, I'm a miserable, MISERABLE human being for at least an hour or two, lol.
That was until I attempted this new tactic with my Dexedrine (that was a few weeks ago -- I'm switched to DextroStat now) -- I set my alarm for an hour before I wish to wake up, take my meds, then going back to sleep for an hour. That way I wake up feeling just great. I'm sure the same thing could help you with your difficulty waking up to greet the day. I just put all my morning meds into a pillbox on my nightstand with a bottle of water so I can take them without getting out of bed. Works great.
