Sleep problems, ADHD, what is it? Starting to get worried?!


Question: Sleep problems, ADHD, what is it!? Starting to get worried!?
I used to have ADHD as a kid, tried adderall as an adult, and it had like a two hour buzzing effect, and was done, nothing!. But I'm not sure if the following issue is related to that!. Check this out!.

I can not focus for ****, that part is related of course, I can't finish a paragraph without getting up, changing the music, the channel, staring at a white wall, anything!. A few years back when I was in community college, I took 15 credits, worked 45 hours a week, and went out like 5 or 6 nights a week, I had alot on my plate!. When I got home at 1AM I'd hit the books till about 7, then go to school!. I literally did not sleep on monday nights, and most of the time Wednesdays too!. Sure I'd doze off here and there, physically I was shot, mentally ready to go, and as closed to focused as I can be!. Here, at a full time University, my social life blows balls, and I'm unemployed, I know how unhealthy my previous life style was, of at least once a week being awake 38-42 hours straight, so I tried the 6-8 hours of rest a night thing!. Didn't work!. Couldn't accomplish a thing!. So the last two days I went back to the way things were, I'm on about a day and a half without sleep and I'm getting a ton of stuff done!. Physically beat, annoying tune delirously playing at full speed in my head, but flying!. I'll be awake another 10 hours, and when all is said and done, I'll crash for a good 7 hours, and wake up ready to go another 30+ hours!

I can not get on a straight, normal sleep schedule, I've tried pills, forced schedules, everything!. Whats worse is I cannot finish a thought on paper until I'm at that point of being physically beat, then I can stay on task, as much as I can, which isn't much!. As smart as I am (really not bragging) It takes me 4x's as long to do something, which would indicate ADHD, but the sleep thing is bizzare!. When I wake up, it takes me a few hours to hit my stride, I can sleep in LONG blocks too!. With the day being only 24 hours long I can not be a successful adult functioning like this!. WHAT IS IT!? WHAT CAN I DO!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
