Is it normal to like get more hyper at night cause during the day I'm sleepy and at night I'm ready to like work out and stuff

A lot of ADHDers seem to have a different circadian rhythm from the rest of the world. Sometimes that can be changed, but it depends on just how it's functioning for you. I don't know why this happens for some people; I don't think it's really part of ADHD itself but a lot of ADHDers have other brain stuff going on (e.g., sensory processing differences, learning disorders, other comorbid disorders).

Does everyone with ADHD need medication?

Nope!

I’m not medicated right now. I have used it in the past, but at the moment I am doing well without. If things change, I’ll go back to the doctor.

Some people are able to manage their symptoms without medication at all, and some people go on and off depending on their life circumstances (like me), and still others have to take medication all their lives. Of course, some people who don’t take medication would probably benefit from it but have chosen not to take it for personal reasons (which is okay; it’s a really personal decision), and some people who do probably would do fine without (again, personal decision).

It’s just another example of how we’re all different.
