I never take my medication after 1PM, I get up early and take my first dose and then take my second dose around 12-1. Every once in a while I will get insomnia and for that I generally just take a half of one of my anti-anxiety pills or take a small dose of over the counter zzzquil. The insomnia is worse in the beginning at some points, now days I can be right in the peak of my dose and if I choose to, I can take a nap.

Melatonin can help the nights you're struggling to fall asleep, but personally Ritalin made a huge difference because of the short half life

When I was on Adderall I found it very helpful to take the medication after a large early lunch (hopefully 11am or earlier)

no insomnia for me, i take my dose in the morning but i sleep better since going on them rather than worse
