I am doubting myself, probably a little too much, and I'm hoping that there are people on this site like me.

I just started my dream journal and everything, and I know what I'm going to try for my induction tonight, (I think it's VILD) but I'm worried that I won't be able to concentrate.

I firmly believe that I have an attention deficit disorder, and when ever I try to go to sleep, and I try to concentrate, random thoughts always flush into my head and break my concentration, with everything I do. I think to hard, about not thinking... But then I think even harder if that makes sence?

I also have a hard time sleeping without sound, years of listening to brain shattering loud music makes it so when ever it's too quiet, my ears ring like a bomb just went off, so I listen to music when I try to go to sleep.

So my questions are what can I do do stay focused on trying to fall asleep, while attaining lucidity, and will the background music effect anything? Should I turn it off?
