This is cool. As someone who has in the past engaged in Thatcher-levels of unsleep, Guy Debord levels of alcoholism and Stakhanov levels of overwork, I STRONGLY recommend getting off everything—uppers, downers, plateuers, whatever—for at least two months and then reintroducing at the ground level e.g. coffee if you must, but sloowly sloowly like you're a Buddhist monk and even a small gust of air on the back of your neck is great ecstasy. Burnout is serious and real and if you're no longer dreaming you're not getting the messages from your ancestors and all the other important stuff. Get fit, get sun. No one needs to make or to listen to 57 podcasts a week or read 20 thinkpieces an hour. I felt like a match for an entire year after exploding my language capacity in a florid chaotic nightmare and it took a long time to recover. The world will wait!

For a neurodivergent ENTP, you have a rarified knack for branding and drawing friends into your dreamworld that I'm rather envious of. Talent recognizes talent. Furthermore, it takes monumental courage to willingly undergo steep transformations, and even more courage to do it in public. Massive respect.
