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.
If you're interested in this you can find more details on my separate thread about Social Rhythm Therapy.

I'm looking forward to watching the video. Won't do it tonight, but will tomorrow.
