always tired Seeking Empathy

does anyone else just always feel tired no matter how much sleep they get? I’ve tried every amount of sleep, five hours seven hours nine hours 12 hours shit even 14 hours and no matter what, I’m still always tired! and caffeine only works if I take it literally once a week. If I take more than that, it just makes me MORE tired. I’m about 97% sure I have ADHD, but in the process of being diagnosed, but when I take addie, I actually feel awake. does anyone else have the same problem?

edit: i always sleep through the night too, it’s not like i’m waking up or anything.

Yep! Everytime tired...I tried medication to help my sleep quality and it didn't work!! I learned to quantify my activities. I have a combined adhd so I'm either hyperactive or inactive...
