If you're ready to sleep without the stimulants, then you may not have ADHD. ADHD is a physical condition having to do with blood flow to certain portions of the brain. Without the stimulants, the blood flow is decreased and that's what causes the hyperactivity and inability to focus. Someone without the condition takes the meds and they're wired for sound whereas those with it mellow out. As an example, some kids with ADHD are given a dose of Ritalin at night so they can fall asleep. Hell, I'm on the max dose of Adderall and have no issue taking a nap. If I don't have the drug in my system, I may want to sleep but the motivation comes from inability to get anything accomplished. Go to bed and try again tomorrow.
