How do you handle falling asleep in the evening?

While my Elvanse dose is merely half of yours it always seems to affect my nervous system for much too long, keeping me unable to sleep before 3am on weekdays on the average.

Sleep is a wobbly one aye.

Some nights no bother at all - I've been getting way more of these nights on meds than off, others it'll be a 3am one (2-3am has been my norm for as long as I can remember so it's not made it worse as such), and on the odd occasion I'll keep myself busy with something all night and do a double day.

Unfortunately no solid answer there, I take the meds first thing in the morning and hope I'll be able get to sleep later. Fortunately (for me) this has been my norm for as long as I can remember either way so at least nothing is worse!

This has been my crutch as well, basically setting an alarm for an hour earlier than I need to get up at, taking the pill from the nighstand and then trying to get back to sleep before having to get up for real at 7am.
