Does the environment cause mental disorders, bipolar disorder or mania just to name a few?
I read that the word loony came from back then when the only source of light was the moon. Light sources at night apparently might have cause bipolar disorder in people. I wonder did it have the same effect on me.
My old parents have set up night-lights in every room since i could remember, and its sometime even bright enough to read at the lightsource. I dont know why exactly but it drives me insane. Its like i want to jump up and run into a wall, and hit myself with something hard. I move around so much in my bed, i can wake people up.
But then, it doesnt have the same effect on my parents…I hvae to sleep in total darkness but since light polution makes the sky light up a bright crimson or pink, i have lots of trouble falling asleep. I usually need to wake up early too. It seems my circadian rhythms are messed up, but my parents fear that if diaster happens at night, they cant get out if its dark. They sleep save, i go to bed insane…
Whats your assessment?

well environment can effect the mood of the person, but only genetics make mental disorders, but environment can effect but does not create
My son who is only 9 is the same way. He loves it dark. Summer solstice in Alaska drive a lot of people crazy who aren’t used to the daylight hours at 3 am. The sun never goes down in the summer! Ask you parents if it would be possible to put a night light in the hall instead of directly in your room.
It does sound as though your circadian rhythms
are messed up.
Find a way you can sleep in total darkness—–
better blinds, mask, etc.
Make this aspect of your health a priority.
Go to bed at the same time EVERY NITE—–
even weekends. And get up at the same time
EVERY morning, even weekends. Make sure
you’re getting at least 8 hrs. of sleep a nite.
It will take about 3-4 weeks of this to get back
in sync.
I wish you the best.
