Phillipa- it's not that the stimulants have helped with sleep, it's more that they help me feel more wakeful during the day. The doctors decided that I don't have trouble falling asleep, and they ultimately didn't want to give sleep meds. The sleep meds can further mess-up the sleep cycles, anyway, by robbing one of the restorative stages 3 and 4 deep sleep. I guess that is why you often hear about how they shouldn't be used long-term.> Laima interesting that an opposite med has you sleeping. I too excercise and think it helps. Love Phillipa
