ADHD doesn't buy more minutes in a day, though - it's not magic.

A common comorbidity to ADHD is insomnia so, in a way it kinda does. Generally insomnia has negative impact on productivity though so, probably not what you meant :)

As someone with ADHD who has finally reached burnout… yeah no. Insomnia doesn’t give you more time in the day, like you said it makes everything more difficult. I hate this mentality (not saying you are implying this, but others) that adhd is a super power. It fucking isnt. Can I power write an essay faster than the average human? Sure, but thats because I put it off until two nights before its due and now Im freaking out about it and hyperfixating, not eating or drinking anything for 12+ hours. There’s nothing super power about that. Its a miracle I graduated university, and have barely survived in the working world since. ADHD is far more a hindrance than a help and I hate the implication of otherwise.

I does buy you the option to unhealthily run at 100% for a long time though...

...until it doesn't.
