Sorta.

I do often wake up at 4, but the hyperactive part of ADHD is very strong with me. If I can fall asleep within a half hour, I’ll sleep normally until it’s time to wake up. But if I can’t fall back asleep, I get up for the day.
I only feel tired if I go back to sleep after 5. Otherwise the hyperactivity keeps me cruising along all day.
