Ritalin as sedative...

...there's no joke buried in that title. I'm sitting here at my desk struggling to stay awake. About ten minutes ago I took my afternoon methylphenidate...and I cannot keep my eyes open.

On a day when I have gotten enough sleep, this would not be happening. But I haven't been getting enough sleep this week. Stimulants make my body relax, which normally helps me to focus because my attention isn't jagging around all over the joint with extra energy. But if I'm overly tired AND I take a stimulant, let the yawns begin. This would be great if I was anywhere near a bed.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
