It is on my radar screen to get into a more predictable routine because the constant changes in sleep pattern aren't good for me. I stayed up until 3 AM the other night to watch a hockey game. Duh.

But I slept like a log last night and feel positive about today.....I just need to REMEMBER to stay in the same cycle. Sometimes, it really comes down to me sort of forgetting.
Every time I'm busy and I forget to take my meds on time, I panic and start counting hours that are left before I have to get up and go to work. The paranoia that comes with mania sucks. I slept for 8 hours last night -- unheard of, but nice.
