the relapse means you need to keep up with it. try missing a night or having a half night or whatever about once a week.

he said he didn't think they had tested getting an hour less every night but he said it might be worth trying that.

hard to say how much i sleep... but i expect it is about 9 hours.

i've heard that people who sleep under or approaching 7 tend to be prone to hypomania / mania and people who sleep 7 or well over tend to be prone to depression. of course there are exceptions and some people have sleeplessness as part of their depression.

i might try the one hour less... trouble is that my sleep schedule is fairly erratic. and there will be a temptation for me to just crash for about 12 or 13 hours like i do sometimes to kinda make up for it. like... i did last night. hmm...
