People with ADHD and in a low energy state. By taking stimulants we can say it brings them up to a "normal" state. If they too more of the drug it will surly over stimulate the patient.

For me its the oposite, too much makes me sleepy. I actually slept for 24hours because of an ritalin overdose

This is because it also releases serotonin, and the serotonin turns into melatonin, which makes you tired.

No. Because it stimulates sleep or wakefulness, depending on a persons genetics.Most stimulants release all the catecholamines.
