Big issue, dealing with sleep problem

[Jersey0]

I have sleep issues, I don't really remember the last time I had a normal sleep pattern or anything, nighttime awakens me, and I have searched online, but the problem is I do have a clinic that's available that has a sleep lab, but I just feel uncomfortable talking to a doctor in person, I have a few pages saved in my computer of stuff I looked up that I feel I relate too, but it's a combination of different sleeping disorders I guess, and my friend gave me aderall, and I like how it's been making me feel, it has helped, but I'm not even positive if that's right for me or anything, but it has worked so I feel maybe I should be prescribed it, but I'm not too postive of how I would ask a doctor for aderall without a huge explanation that I don't feel like having in a person-person conversation, yeah I'm just lost and need assistance, hope someone can help or point me in the right direction

Thank you for responding, been thinking about it too much lately since I did an all-nighter again, I'm not allergic to anything, I do exercise, and the Adderall it works, been keeping me feeling with energy without any effects like caffeine pills ( I take Vivarin sometimes, so that I don't zone out at work) so I think I take Aderall sometimes as a replacement to a caffeine pill ( which I don't think is very good, but it just feels like a better solution than Vivarin), and I don't stress much at all, only when it comes to relationship problems, or when I depressed about something ( and when I get depressed and stressed out like that I get really "crazy" and get insanely emotional, and cry alot, about misunderstandings, which I thought might be a another reason, but that's not that often either)...I don't know I'm just very confused, because I don't get stressed too often or let stupid issues get me down, as I said it's just that nighttime wakes me up, to me it's like the start of the day, because at night I feel the best, the most alert, happier, energized...like everyone considers me a "Night Owl", because I just am more myself at night and such. And about my "depression" issues I guess you can call it, I think that's basically because I'm just a very happy person, very optimistic and everything and I guess when someone lets me down, I just go crazy so I suppose thats why I feel Aderall is great because I read that it also helps with depression issues, sooo idk....if you think you could assist someway, or tell me what more of your input is, or know someone else I can contact that could possibly give me answers, I deeply appreciate it

Firstly avoid eating or drinking near bed time in fact a few hours before,are you allergic to anything check your diet, is your life style too quiet maybe some more Physical exercise to burn off   energy . If the Adderall doesnt work dont take it ,possibly you have some Anxiety Issues and stress,I find that I can visualise a nice place I like to go to and when I lay down I visualise that place and done think of anything else, its our thoughts that can keep us allert at noght.
