Reply to comment by QUHistoryHarlot in TIFU by drinking black tea by monkshood_bezoar

Is this why I always feel like napping after I have coffee? I have ADHD and I’ve never heard of this.

Yep, it sure is. I’ve heard caffeine naps are the best naps in the world so I’m a little jealous but I also enjoy not getting tired after I have tea or a coke.

Caffeine is baby adderall.

Seriously- small children with ADHD have LESS behaviour issues and better attention span after a sweet coffee than 'sober'.

Both are stimulants that get the ADHD brain to get its ass in gear and focus on something, in less than scientific terms.

Not the source I remember reading byt has some info.
