I would hazzard a guess that it could be done if your doses were kept low.
Another option is to choose a drug like valproate (an anticonvulsant) which can act as a sedative, but is probably safer long term than benzos.
I think the combination of valproate and stimulants is better tested, as people with bipolar disorder (using valproate as a mood stabilizer) often have comorbid ADHD requireing a stimulant.
I took high doses of caffiene + valproate for about 6 months. Infact, there is evidence that valprotate can actually reverse tollerance to drugs. So you might just get a sedative that makes the stimulant work for a longer time.
