I have a diagnosed ADHD, but I also share some SCT-characteristics (but I'm completely unsure, there are too much controversies).
I recently buyed some melatonine, not because I have sleep problems, but I want to sleep faster. I'm not using it in a regular basis, just for specific circumstances/jetlag or when I just have to sleep NOW and not 1 hour later...
I noticed, when I took my melatonine without going to bed and doing some tasks instead that some of the symptoms of my ADHD are lowered.
I'm able to concentrate better and my brain fog, I sometimes get from my stimulants, disappears. It feels like my energy is lowered a little bit, but not too much, so I can concentrate easily (otherwise I have to put a lot in energy to hold back myself and not be too fast/impulsive).
I maked this experience also without melatonine: I can perform/concentrate at my best ONLY in the evening/night and early in the morning. These are the only times, where I have the right amount of "energy" (not too much, then I get hyperactive or brainfog and not too less, so I wouldn't be able, to perform at my best).
To be more specific, I prefer the night.
Can someone share his/her experience (only those with diagnosed ADHD)? Can someone make a hypothesis, why it is like that?
PS: In the night, I'm more creative, fast, "in touch with my environment" (I mean that I'm to 100% activated and not 75%, because 25% at the expense of dreaming, impulsiviness, hyperactivity or brainfog), I'm more able to think rational and I'm more emotional (I usually practice instruments at that time).
Can this somehow be linked to melatonins acitivity on the brain?
Please don't answer: "Because it is sedating you". NO! It must be doing more!!
