In "Mosby's Drug Guide for Nurses", the following instruction is included in the sections for amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and methylphenidate:
"Tell patient to get needed rest; patients feel more tired at end of day...."
That, to me, would indicate that more sleep could be necessary for some. I mean, it's just logical -- with your body working in overdrive all day on speed, it's going to want longer periods of sleep to recuperate.
