ADHD and SIXTH SENSE?
Perhaps the reason we are less focused in life has to do with our more active dreaming and subliminal states! But I also agree with you in part from that perspective. I'm not some much trying to make a point as I am trying to find answers.
I think Atom, that metaphysics/paranormal experiences are more common in people that have a different perspective in life.
Some people may have ADHD and have paranormal experiences
Most probably wouldnt.
But I think it has more to do with your personal experiences, your interests in philosophies and the way your brain works.
Probably the same ratio of Muggles have paranorm experiences as does people with ADHD.
Hello everyone...
A while back I had posted something about ADHD and sleep disorder. I've done a bit more (actually a LOT more) research to find out more about the symptoms of sleep paralysis, and found something truley shocking. My old post is below.
I went to NY over the holiday season and found myself wrapped up in several public libraries flipping through books until they closed, and staying up all night (sometimes for a couple days as I am prone to do) and reading books from the occult section I found this:
These symptoms described in sleep paralysis are in fact the mind's way of telling the body it's time to leave. Not die, but travel out of the body!!
I wasn't extremely surprised with this new info, because what senses we lack in, we excel in others.
I believe that since the blind have a heightened sense of hearing, the deaf of feeling etc... The less attentive and hyperactive have of the other senses... perhaps sixth senses. It is afterall, a defect of the mind... or is it?
******IS ADHD A DEFECT? OR AN UNDERDEVELOPED GIFT????*****
THE OLD POST:
Hello everyone
My younger brother, like me, has ADHD. We've both been through lots of treatments, and find that Adderall has worked best. I've researched all kinds of disfunctions, disorders, (also gifts, as I like to call them) and I'm a psychology major right now for my second year in college.
Both of us have always suffered from sleep disorders as well, forms of insomnia before either of us were ever even on medication. I stopped taking medication for a year before I started college, and it was the same thing all over again. Constant movement, talkativeness (my mouth sometimes running faster than my brain could keep up!) and late nights. By this I mean toss & turn in bed, but more so something else...
A nightly problem with Sleep Paralysis.
For those of you who don't know what this is, its like this:
1 - Half awake or feeling awake
2 - Unable to move limbs
3 - Feeling of terror or danger
4 - mild hallucinations (like there is something in the room)
5 - respiration increasing, feeling like heart is beating out of chest
It sounds extremely scary. It is. Most people grow out of this by age 30. Don't forget, I've dealt with this a long time. 10 years so far.
My bro has something in the same category, less frightening, a bit more dangerous. SLEEPWALKING.
My father has ADD worse than any adult I know. Perhaps thats how we gained a gene for it.
Anyways, I've found that benzodiazepines correct the sleep apnea, and my brother's sleep walking is a bit less severe from CLONODINE.
We both decided a few weeks ago to kick those meds to the curb because we felt that life will always have its drawbacks. Some things we have to face up to without medication.
The point of this post is to find others with the same problem. I'm taking a survey of people with ADD/ADHD and sleep disorders. Insomnia, bedwetting, chronic or acute (on a semi regular basis) Nightmares, Sleep / Night Terrors, Apnea, even the most strange accounts of when its time for bed. I'm trying to find out if there IS in fact a connection between ADD/HD and Sleep Disorder. The professionals say no or they are not sure...
Anyways, I would very much appreciate any feedback I can get on this.
Thank you for reading,
Atom I got a p.m. from someone on this topic. I know how it gets with adhd. Pretty frustrating and sometimes we're shot down emotionally by people thinking it's just the way we are. In this post I ask you to put aside that idea for just a moment. Does the posibility for metaphysics exist in adhd people? More so than in "normal" people? Wellbutrin warning : Can cause seizure activity. please be careful. RshnI know this is the board for teens and children with adhd I do not have adhd my son does and i am here on his behalf trying to find out how others with adhd see what i only see from the other perspective....... but i do have severe insomnia. i sleep 2 hours a night max. My son has adhd and is 7 years old he talks in his sleep has trouble falling asleep and sometimes sleep walks and wets the bed about 2-3 nights a week. I have heard alot about sleep paralysis. alot of people without add or hd do this on purpose. supposedly if you stay awake for 5 days straight, u start to have extreme senses of euphoria, extreme hallucinations, and much more. its suppost to be an amazing feeling, but i dont have the will power to stay up 5 days straight.
Hi, I'm 22 years old and was only diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago after having been diagnosed woth Tourettes. I'm currently taking Ritalin SR as well as regualr fast acting and 75mg of Effexor XR. I was also a Psych Major in University and am now studying nursing. I as well have seen evidence of a correlation between sleep disorders as well as a sort of sixth sense...I used to have these dreams where i would see things like accidents that would later actually happen...more than once or twice too. As well, after extensive sleep lab tests doctors have discovered a syndrome called sleep phase delay (not sure if you konw anything about this....) I have difficulty waking up in the morning (like DIFFICULTY) and i don't ever feel rested, even when i get 11 or 12 hours of sleep. A 3 hour nap n the afternoon actusally leaves me incredibly more rested than night time sleep....I easily fall asleep in class during the day and have even had a car accident form falling asleep behind the wheel. I talk in my sleep, have extremely strange dreams and shake my legs or rub my feet together all night long (although the last could be a symptom of the Tourettes...), Thank God that none of this has affected me academically....still at the top of the class! I'd be interested in hearing more of your theory about this though....keep posting please! And let me know if anybody else has similar problems!!!! The list goes on....i could write pages on different things about my disorders...but i'm trying to keep within your set topic here..Thanks for any info!

I can only sleep when unmedicated but even before then i could never get to sleep. If i do get to sleep then i get complaints in the morning. Sleep talking is not totally normal but what about sleep yelling? I yell things out, i dont say them. My sister taped me once and it was true. It wasn't just yelling, the speed i was yelling was almost too fast to say normally. She says it happens anytime i sleep. I also wake up with bruises and apparently ive been kicking in the wall and wood sideboard to my bed.
ahhhh u just PERFECTLY descibed what happens to me...
1 - Half awake or feeling awake
2 - Unable to move limbs
3 - Feeling of terror or danger
4 - mild hallucinations (like there is something in the room)
5 - respiration increasing, feeling like heart is beating out of chest
That is sooo creepy. OMG... yeah... thats really creepy. i tried describing that happening to my parents and to my friends and they were all like what the .... r u talking about??? and i kinda described it as like, i felt kinda like i was being possessed. ha. sounds really stupid but i really didnt know how to describe it cuz i couldnt move at all and i just felt like there was something evil around me... i didnt know what it was and i wasnt sure if i was awake or asleep, i really truely didnt know and i was just sooooo scared everytime. it hasnt really happened lately, but it does happen every christmas eve ever since i was about 12 i think. but its the creepiest thing ever. i also have adhd... i take 2 pills of 30mg adderallXR a day. its crazy and i also have had insomnia for about 3 years now. i take ambien for that... but it very obviously doesnt work even if i try since im going on to day 4 now without a wink of sleep. im just really restless and i wanna be out doing something with my friends or talking to them instead, but whenever im not... and no matter how tired i am... i still cant sleep. maybe cuz i know in the back of my mind i know what could happen if i fall asleep? i dont know.
