I've been coping with caffeine and alcohol (not a lot) before realizing that I was basically just self medicating because of ADHD. Caffeine to make me productive and in the evening some kind of alcohol (most often wine) to get sleepy. After getting suspicious that I might have ADHD, I also heard that alcohol shouldn't make me this sleepy this fast normally and that this is pretty common for people with ADHD
