If I didn't have the set ritual of making breakfast and eating it with hubby, I would likely forget my morning medications, from time to time. He'd forget his, too.
I have a very pretty painted box on my dining room table that contains hubby's pill box, and my two pill boxes. Every morning breakfast is on the table at about 6:45 am or 7:15 am, at the latest. As soon as I sit down at the table, the pill boxes are taken out and pills taken, then boxes returned to the pretty box. I do the same thing at dinner, though only I have evening medications.
I occasionally (not often) forget my evening meds at dinner. I always eventually remember them that evening because without them I can't sleep. If I take them very late, I can't fall asleep until 3 am or so, and inevitably have a headache the whole morning.
