N=1, I sleep better on stimulants than off them. No problem falling asleep after drinking coffee (usually it makes me more sleepy), or even taking a prescribed stimulant before going to bed.

Some of my best naps have been after taking amphetamines. My brain shuts up, and I can actually relax.

I fall asleep halfway through an energy drink with surprising regularity.

In my youth, I would pound a mountain dew before bed.
