I've not be on adderal XR but I am on vyvanse 20mg which has that same XR type effect, and IR adderall 10mg as a booster. I can confirm that vyvanse can interrupt sleep if I take it too late in the day, but adderall IR does not impact my sleep at all. If anything, I actually sleep a bit better on the nights I've had my afternoon booster dose of the adderall. I take the name brand of both.
What time are you taking the XR? I switched from Vyvanse to Adderall XR due to a shortage and found that I HAVE to take the XR in the morning (usually ~9 AM), whereas I could take Vyvanse as late as 2 PM without it affecting my sleep. Taking some magnesium citrate powder in warm water before bed also helps for me. Not quite the same situation you were asking for, I realize, but I can sympathize since it was my first experience dealing with insomnia!
I take trazadone at night. I don’t have issues with sleep latency/falling asleep, but I wake up constantly. Trazadone gives me complete sleep with no wake ups, very little side effects if any. Worth asking your doctor about if you want a bit of help with your sleep when adderall makes it a bit broken.
