I take my adderall first thing when I wake up, too. I don't go back to sleep, but I do allow myself about one hour of veg time, playing computer games, etc. before having to get in gear to bathe, dress,etc. This hour is also when I get my light box time in, which also helps.
I do have diffculty with some meds being too sedating. For example, klonopin was prescribed for AD-induced restless legs/sleep problems, but when I take it (even half the dose) it is hard to get up in the morning--even if I take it really early in the evening. Same for Sonata, which also causes my mood to go south if I take it for more than one night in a row.
I think your alarm-adderall-snooze approach is good--especially since it seems to work for you!
