I’m super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I’m drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

Edit: It went well! The director even said, “we should just hire you now!” However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.

    20 minute Power Nap = lay down, close my eyes, think of nothing for 20 minutes.

    It usually takes me an hour + to fall asleep but I still appreciate getting a few minutes to shut down in the middle of a tiring day.

      Imagine telling an adhd (or related) to think about nothing.
      Might as well ask me to move that mountain over there :p

        Move that mountain over there.

        Actually, when I think about it, you sort of can. Because the mountain is a part of Earth you can just move the Earth. As you know, every action has an equal and opposite reaction so you can just start walking or running by which you ever so slightly changed the Earth’s rotation and kind of moved the mountain along with it.
        But actually, speed is relative. So if you’re walking (which the mountain probably isn’t, at least not in exactly same direction at exactly same speed) the mountain is moving relative to you.
        Although you could also probably just kick it. Vibrations are also movements, no matter how small.

        But what if you just took a rock from the mountain and thrown it somewhere else? If it’s considered a part of mountain, you just moved it relative to Earth which is a big success in this case. I mean, think about a pile of gravel. Take some from one side, place it on the other, it’s still a pile of gravel and it is also slightly re-positioned.

        Anyway,…

        Dude I am textbook ADHD and totally useless without meds (which is why it takes over an hour for me to even think about sleeping).

        You don’t have to give up before you try just because you have ADHD.

      You guys should try having kids. You’ll learn to fall asleep within moments.

      Miracle cure, I tell ya.
