Is it normal to HAVE to bounce your legs or do something with your hands when sitting to stay awake or focused?

Questions/Advice

Unless the conversation is fun or im doing something engaging like playing a game or watching a movie I always get sleepy if im sitting still

And if I dont bounce my legs or play with something I will start to get really sleepy or mentally unfocused and it will be hard to stay “on” as far as my brain goes

Even when driving sometimes I need to bounce my leg that’s not driving if im driving for a long time to stay focused

Is that a normal thing for most adhd peoples??
