ADHD Question 

Is there any research or identified types of ADHD where the hyperactivity component specifically kicks in much later in the day/night cycle?

ADHD Question 

@pastelbat i've heard once or twice that it's not uncommon for adhd to cause sleeping difficulties, if that's part of what you're asking [i can't immediately find where i heard it though]

re: ADHD Question 

@pastelbat I don't have any research but that's kinda me.

i get a sudden boost of energy at night/the evening. I feel v much wanting to talk to friends online, read things, draw things--but oh butts it's 10pm i should sleep.

I rarely feel like sleeping or ready to sleep. if ever.

ADHD Question 

@pastelbat idk about types of adhd bc the type classification (inattentive/hyperactive/combined) is, to my understanding, kinda arbitrary anyway, but I’ve heard that circadian rhythm issues in general are connected to adhd, here’s a review article I found that’s more specific:
