I have thought the same thing so many times! I know that sleep is essential to stability, WHY don't pdocs work with that first?

I had an excellent sleep regime before February (I still took sleep meds, but my sleep was good). I went to bed every night absolutely no later than 10 p.m. Usually earlier. Then I had a manic episode in February. It was pretty severe. Since then I am staying up until midnight because if I go to bed I don't fall asleep anyway, for hours. I'm awake at dawn, get up and open the curtains so the cats can see out of the windows. Stay up for a while. Get very sleepy. Go back to bed and sleep like a rock at that time, better than I slept all night. So, my sleep right now is not great.
