Hi Old Pals!

I've got to tell you--this social rhythm therapy seems like the real thing. It's getting better and better. Now when I get a down mood it's just a mood, gone in an hour or two. And I'm sleeping every night. Now that I've been at it a while it takes almost no time to fall asleep.

I have a schedule for all the important things: getting up, meaning getting out of bed and getting busy with something; meals and snacks; going outside; exercise; talking to people (a little hard to schedule sometimes, but I've told a few people and they are supportive). I did have a schedule for *everything* but I'm easing up on some of that and it's still good.

Here's a link to Jane Pauley talking to a doctor about it.

I don't think the doctor says anything about blue light blocker glasses. They're a part of my routine; I put them on 2 hours before bedtime.
