46 People Are Sharing Behaviors They Thought Were Normal Only to Realize They Have ADHD

If you are neurotypical, the concept of “caffeine naps” may be new. Some people with ADHD report that the caffeine from drinking coffee or tea makes them feel calm and sleepy instead of awake and energized. Although there are no official studies that back this information up, there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence to make us think there’s something to it. 

This person shared that caffeine has always made them sleepy, even before they were officially diagnosed with ADHD. They even like to drink a cup of coffee before bed so they can fall asleep faster! If they have an afternoon cup of joe, it makes them want to take a nap instead of power through the rest of their work day. Pretty wild, right?!
