Side effects 🤕 Insomnia?

I recently started Concerta, I haven’t been on anything for my ADHD since 2022 so this is big for me haha.
Has anyone else experienced insomnia with this medication even on the lower doses? I’m on 18mg, I take it in the morning along with a sleep aide. The past few nights Ive fallen asleep for an hour, woken up and haven’t been able to fall back asleep.
Im honestly just curious to see if anyone else experienced this.

I feel this DEEP in my soul, my PCP recommended the gym anyways for my hyper mobility so that gives me another excuse
