Restart your meds: Add or adhd inattentive type, is a disorder that remains with you and needs treatment. If you work at night, take your add medications at the start of your shift at night and don't take it in the day time as you sleep during the day.

What time are you..: Please don t tell me you are taking the Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) right before going to sleep...In that case you should explain this to your prescribing dr and plan for an adderall-free time when you are able to sleep.
