Difficulty Sleeping, Stress, Tiredness, Fatigue. Taking Adderall, Does Not Make Me Alert. Causes For Lack Of Sleep?

I have been having a lot of troubles sleeping lately. I am 22 a student and a single mother of a one year old. So I do realize that maybe this is all simply just because I have a lot going on. But I always feel tired, my body constantly feels like I could lay down and fall asleep anywhere. At night even if my daughter sleeps through the night I never do and have a hard time falling asleep- even though my body can t stay awake. I also take adderall on prescription from my psychiatrist and there are times when that doesn t even make me alert. I m wondering if there is something more wrong not allowing me to sleep at anytime and wake up rested- or if it is just because I have so much in my life going on.

Hi welcome to HCMForum. Sleepless ness is a vast topic with varius aetiologies. Mental stress is the first thing to be considered.
The stress could be due to the fear of chijd may wake up in mid night. or family problems etc. there could be some health problems
like highBP gastric hyper acidity etc. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis
