Research before you buy that night light, Laura. I have not read anything about the role of dark and light in bipolar, but I keep seeing those issues mentioned everywhere. Maybe complete darkness at night is better. It is worth finding out. And, money-wise, maybe one of those "smart" alarms that work with your circadian rhythm is a better investment than a night light.

I like the idea of door chimes. I doubt that they would drive you mad, unless you have visitors all day long day in and day out! There are so many different door chimes - if you spend some time looking, you will find some whose sound is pleasant to your ears. It might be a decor piece, too!
