As the title says. I always really struggle to be on time (last year I missed around 30% of school😅). I did try some of the popular advice and sometimes it worked, but never for longer than 2 days. Since then I’ve also found out that it’s very likely that I have adhd. Well school is starting soon and I really need to get this under control.

Using weed to fall asleep sounds as bad as people relaying on caffeine tabs to stay awake.

Have you tried the US military guide to fall asleep?

It’s a few steps and it helped me a lot

Problem is that something like this doesn’t really hold water against sleeping disorders. Using weed to fall asleep is literally a treatment option often prescribed to people who have sleep problems. I don’t think caffeine tabs are something a doctor would consider if you were having troubles staying awake.

Trying this just keeps me up even more because now I’m focusing on falling asleep which means I can’t sleep
