Morning between 8 and 9am. My husband goes to work in his office, I've got the living room to myself, take my ADHD meds and snuggle up on the couch, listening to Sherlock Holmes for an hour until the meds fully kick in.
If you don't mind sharing, what ADHD meds are you on? I do the same thing with strattera/atomoxetine. I wake up around 7a-8a, take it immediately, then go lay on the couch until it kicks in and I can start my day. I've noticed that my peak focus and performance time is from 1p-6p. Whatever I'm doing at 1p is what I'm going to focus on for the rest of the day, so I tailor my schedule to be involved in a priority at that time.
I don't mind at all. I'm on Methylphenidate 30mg XR at 8am (Medikinet adult in my country) and take a 10mg booster of the same med around 2pm. Usually that helps me focus until around 6-7pm and then that's it for the day.
