I realized after 40 years. I had a talk with a guy with ADHD about how drinking coffee makes us sleepy

The one thing that is often a dead giveaway is how many stimulants seem to have the opposite effect on people with ADHD.

I have ADHD, amfetamines help me relax, caffeine causes me to fall a sleep, some anti-allergy medication can cause me to stay awake for 2 days straight.

I read that in some countries doctors can prescribe mild sleeping pills for babies to help them stay calm during long flights. They always advice to test it before going on the flight, because some babies can actually become hyperactive from that medication. If that happens, there's a good chance the baby has ADHD.
