      Cant take naps, think it might be my meds.

      Im on concerta for my adhd, and however, when i try to take naps during the day, even melatonin cannot keep my eyes shut for an hour, even if it can, i lay there for an hour trying to get to sleep, just like i do at night, and i am not even one bit more tired! what do i do???

      Why are you trying to nap when you are not tired?

      Well then, you could try getting less sleep at night so you'll be more tired during the day so you can nap. =P

      Yes I'd say it is your medication and you will probably have to give up napping during the day. I know, it sucks. I used to nap everyday and spend a few hours in and out of LDs, but when I started taking adderall (another ADD medication though I don't know how similar/different it is to concerta)...I was no longer able to nap during the day. And even if I managed to somehow fall asleep I would never become lucid the way I used to. I've taken adderall for about 4 years on and off now and even though I've become used to its effects it is still very rare that I nap/LD during the day. However if I don't take my medication for a few days, the day naps/LDs usually come back.
