It’s exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it’s pretty inefficient. I’m trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.

    It also doesn’t work for everyone even with following it strictly. Just because something works for some, doesn’t mean it works for everyone.

      Exactly. I simply don’t wake up right away to my alarm. Never have. I have to have a second alarm because even with tasks to dismiss it I am not awake right away and will often fall back asleep. As for making sure you fall asleep and wake up at the same time, uh if someone is struggling to fall asleep and/or wake up, telling them to just fall asleep or wake up is like telling someone with asthma to just breathe. Not helpful.

      Also, just because you do something and something else happens doesn’t mean A caused B. I could say that going for walks is why I don’t have heart issues but that doesn’t make it true.
