> staying up late rocks. its the funnest. why would i give that up? just to pay attention better at work? no thanks. You may eventually find yourself in a situation where the tradeoff is worth it. E.g., you have a family to feed, and your ability hold a well-paying job hinges on your performance. | ||

> E.g., you have a family to feed, and your ability hold a well-paying job hinges on your performance. I can do all of these things anyway. Of course, this does present the potential reality that were I able to sleep like people, I could be even more successful, but after a near death experience, then disability, I've learned to be happy with where I am. | ||

There's only one little problem with that reasoning, my friend... sigh ADHD PEOPLE ARE NOT MOTIVATED BY REWARD[1] We literally can't do the things we want and need to do [2]. We know full well the trade-off is worth it. It's just that we can't have it. Sincerely, --an AuDHDer | ||
