Results may vary! This is advice from my doc for my specific situation. Generalised, it is a simplification, but not entirely wrong.
Much of what is felt during a rebound / crash when the stims wear off is exacerbated from low blood sugar, dehydration and lack of rest. If you do what you usually would, most of the effect can go away in many cases. If you put on top what you “should” do but can’t get yourself to do unmedicated, also fine.
What increases crashes:
In my case, crashes went away entirely. At night, 14 hours after intake, I still feel full of energy and ready to take on anything - even household chores.

I have the same reaction to all of these except napping. If I lay down for like 10ish minutes and try to sleep, it really helps clear my head even if I’m not sleepy.
