Summary
A person posting in an ME/CFS forum describes sleep timing: for about a year they have taken their ADHD medication when their alarm goes off and then gone back to sleep, so they no longer sleep into the late afternoon or evening and are almost always up before noon. Taking the stimulant earlier stops their sleep schedule slipping. A second alarm did not work for them.
