Hi smart drug,
welcome! I read your earlier thread too. So many options, so little time.Well... I am sorry that you have trouble when stress increases. That is a bad cycle to get into, because we overcommit ourselves and then it comes back, ferociously, to bite us in the *ss.
If you're having problems with sleep, but still need a stimulant, why not try modafinil (provigil). It didn't disrupt my sleep cycle.
I have also gotten relief from valerian tea.
And psychotherapy to help with the stress relief. You know- a good talk can change brain chemistry too :)
Sleep hygeine is important, but so are finals. Get through this and try not to be too self-destructive about it.
take good care,
-Ll
