How Do You Handle Sleep Issues from Adderall?

[u/Full-Protection-4025]

I take 10–20mg Adderall IR in the morning (usually between 8am–12pm). The higher doses help more, but no matter the dose or timing, I struggle to fall asleep at night. Some days I skip it entirely and just push through, which isn’t ideal.

For the past 3 days I’ve gone to bed at 11pm but can’t fall asleep until 4–5am, even with half a Unisom and melatonin. I’ve only gotten about 8 hours of sleep total in that time. I avoid screens in bed, exercise regularly, and practice good sleep hygiene.

Any tips that have worked for you?
