This is a technical issue but I am not going to talk about it in technical terms … Last night a tv special explained how when we sleep deeply the synapses in our brain spread apart allowing fluid in the brain to “wash” away plaque that other wise would buildup stopping the flow basically leading to “causing” , alzheimer’s ..

now I think we all know that sleep is the first casualty of bipolar … so it’s not hard to see the connection … my question is the lack of good deep sleep an effect of bipolar or the cause …

I know in my experience the better I sleep the better I do … the better I feel … the better I relate to others … I also know just how hard it is to get “good” sleep on a regular basis …

I really wish the pdoc’s would spend more effort on improving our sleep before dumbing up down so much with there meds … deadening senses is no substitute for good sleep …

if you have a strategy that works for you and your “good” sleep … please share it here …
