Hi guys! thank you for all the support and good advice!
A lot of thoughts to respond to.
You guys are right that I am probably getting over zealous and will burn myself out. I am just not being successful and I am really frustrated. Last night, I got to bed at [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[12:30am]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]. which is actually a huge victory for an evening with nothing specific planned for the early morning. I woke up at 8:30am really confused about what do people do at this hour except for go to work or class. I managed to wake up and nearly finish my school project before my 3pm dentist appointment. I did accomplish that 3 hours of work which I was hoping to..all thanks to going to bed “early”.
I am thinking about what to cut out of my plan.. probably the work and task planning stuff. Thanks to vyvanse, I have been much more productive during the day and my to do list is actually getting done. The work thing is still a constant frustration. I do need internet cut offs. I do need to plug in the mobile vs. it distracting me. i do need the timer to keep me focused. and I think the spreadsheet is good motivation. and i still think an accountability friend is a good idea 
one of my co-workers uses a workout ball in front of her desk.. interesting. and I do have one of those balls because I needed it for physical therapy… hmm… *reigns in brain*.
question??????? Does anyone here get hyper/more hyper at night? lifetime pattern for me. probably a route to my winding down problems.
blabber which may be annoying to read
-I have been considering asking my doctor about whether I should get a sleep study.
-sleep disorders actually run in my family. My mom takes ambien nearly every night. My grandfather used to sleep about 4 hours a night. He was a happy man when the 24hr weather channel and CNN came to Canada.
-not sleeping is extremely risky for my mental health because I have bipolar disorder. I always have insomnia, but it worsens during mood episodes and protracted insomnia can either signal or trigger a new episode. So when I cannot sleep, my doctor and I throw whatever it takes into my body to make me sleep.
-however, I think that I really really really need to start doing my part because I know that my messed up sleep schedule contributes to my problem.
-my trouble winding down to go to bed and keep sleep schedules is constant and has no relation to mood episodes
-I am taking Vyvanse and an occasional booster dextroamphetamine for my sleep. I have not noticed a change in my sleep schedule with these meds, although it is nice not to nod off during my early morning drive to work.
-one day, I took the Vyvanse way way too late in the day. I had stayed up until 6am, then took the pill around 1:30pm when I woke up. not awesome when I am supposed to be attempting a 11-12am bedtime. Anyhow, it was the easiest night I have had winding down lol. Everything was ready to go and I was in bed at 11:15pm…but….. the combination of only being awake for 10 hours that day + being on a med that creates alertness= horrible sleep
