Lack of sleep is a big trigger for me as I imagine it is for many others.

I've had trouble with sleep most of my life, but since taking Seroquel it has gotten a lot better.

Nonetheless I can be terrible about getting to bed at a decent time. I know that after taking Seroquel, I will (usually) be semi-comatose in about 45 mins, but I end up taking it far too late, and then go to bed far too late. I get caught up in what I'm doing (forget) and/or just don't feel like going to bed. This causes big problems all around.

Does anyone have any advice on developing a pretty strict sleep schedule (making sure you go to bed at a certain time every night [at least weeknights]) and if night meds come into it, making sure you take them when you should --so you can go to bed when you should?

Does anyone have some sort of ritual surrounding going to bed that helps, ways of reminding yourself, or any other recommendations?

Thanks.
