I live in Arizona, USA. There is so much sunlight here that the doc told me there is rarely need for a lightbox here. But I will go there if I need it as my circadian and seasonal rhythm is very delicate.
oh! i was researching circadian rhythms and blue light. I am going to buy some crazy amber blue light restricting glasses to wear at night. I can post the link if anyone is interested. I am actually completely veering out of the ADHD context. This is pretty much relevant only to people with circadian rhythm problems and bipolar disorder. ah well. 
ok.. well..officially I have broken every rule I need to follow >_<. tomorrow is another day lol! and I am so excited for my packages to arrive (bought a bunch of self help bipolar and ADHD books). I just need to set my alarm 10 minutes earlier x_X
wow.. I have completely tangentialed this thread. turns out that stimulants are not the critical factor in my insomnia. doc barely mentioned them.
one curiosity I have…. about the possibility that I do not have ADHD and just an insomnia bipolar problem only with a still on the normal spectrum distracted hyperactive disorganized personality type. Although my doc with a ton of experience with ADHD did diagnose me. but interesting and I do have an open mind to it. either way, I’ve been learning a lot and feel better about myself lol.
no dopamine- your advice and following your journey have been so helpful to me. thank you so much!!!!! Time management, organization, and feeling overwhelmed with a ton of useless thoughts are significant problems for me as I attempt to work a professional job and manage my daily affairs, but I think that sleep maybe the more critical problem I did not see (not including the bipolar disorder which has been the reigning emperor on my list of chronic problems for years). Sleep will help the bipolar and focus anyway.
I should create a special insomnia thread.
but now, I should go to bed.
