Sleep is definately part of my illness. I fear it's more complicated but sleep is always off in episodes. At least I think so...pretty sure but not entirely.

Warm baths, herbal tea, comfy Jammie's, comfy bed, very dark (not even alarm clock light). Blackout curtains. Read something absolutely boring.

I wish I had a weighted blanket! I've always needed weight on me when I sleep, heavy blankets and covers....pure cotton has a nice heft.
