What I mean by that is that I see many posts by transfems about how they feel "eepy" and it feels to a point where they would hibernate if they could. Why so many memes about feeling sleepy are posted?

It's one of many symptoms but in general ADHD causes more mental exhaustion because of the lower dopamine. It means it takes more effort in general to focus and accomplish tasks in average and we also start with lower levels of mental energy than a neurotypical person.

It also doesn't help that ADHD makes it harder to sleep, generally causes delayed sleep phase pushing back circadian rythem before you even get to revenge bedtime procrastination, and causes less restful sleep.
