Was same teens and early 20s. Daytime Has never gone well for me.
I would use full black out blankets, ear plugs and noise canceling headphones with video game music.
Pair programmer was wonderful for me, as it kept me on task and I didn’t give into distractions as easily.
Later diagnosed as ADHD. Medication made a massive quality of life. Up until my body decided that stimulants are invaders and my immune system went bonkers.

Have you found anything that gets close to it?? I have quite bad gerd and so taking any medication is a quick way to end up on the toilet but I would love to be able to focus!

I have pretty bad acid reflux and my stomach often would get very acidic by the end of day. (Even if I ate nothing)
Fruit and yogurt helps me a lot.
I think it's because fruit doesn't digest primarily in the stomach, so it moves the pills faster into my intestines.
Not a doctor.

Atomoxetine (strattera) is a non-stimulant ADHD medication that might be tolerated better. Additionally, I noticed that stimulants don't upset my stomach nearly as much if you take it with a substantial meal.
I used to stay late and do school projects at night (mostly programming). I always felt my mind is so calm and with no outside distractions I was able to focus very well and be very productive (may not be objective truth at all though).
