I hadn't considered trying to counteract the nervousness induced by stimulants. I'll have to look into various relaxation techniques.
You can do this pharmacologically too, with beta blockers for example. Consider asking your doctor about it.
Have you tried caffeine naps i.e. take a caffeine pill then start taking a nap? The caffeine absorbs while you sleep so when you wake up you could be more alert right away. This could also prevent oversleeping.
You are full of good suggestions!
I had not considered beta blockers at all. Perhaps I should; it appears that they also treat some of my other (minor) health issues.
I have not tried a caffeine nap. Doing some quick reading suggests that it may counteract the grogginess I experience.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
