Yes: Individuals with ADHD have brains that are naturally underarounsed, or less alert than usual. While they may br restless or even hyperactive, it is like being overtired. In addition, when the effects of stimulant medications wane, many individuals feel exhausted since they have lost the balancing effect of the brain nor epinephrin.
