It's important to keep one. I find when I don't or can't that my mania or depression kicks in a lot easier.

I rebel against my schedule sometimes too. Especially on these long, warm summer evenings.....all I want to do is stay up late into the night. Trouble is, that's apt to set off my mania and I am SO stable right now I don't want to mess it up. So it's off to bed I go at 11 PM.

I've been sleeping my *** off lately but for some reason, tonight, it's insomnia. I was in bed for quite some time staring at the ceiling. So, it's back to the computer I go. I know I'll regret it tomorrow when I sleep until 2 PM instead of going to church.

Being back on epilim (being weaned off lamatrogine) and the increase in seroquel pretty much means I sleep at night.

Sleep comes with seroquel. Bedtime is 800... Sux but I've been stable for quite a while

I was very anti schedules and bedtimes. I was goign to stay up until 2 am if I wanted damnit! But I realized that staying up meant I slept later and that meant I got up int he bare minimum to get ready for the day which put my adrenaline up which set me up for anxiety.

Do I need more anxiety? Nope.

Actually I started getting up early to be able to chat online with someone who lives 5 hours a head of me.

But then I realized. I liked getting up early. Well, scratch that. I hated getting up early. What i liked was having a few hours to get ready for things, to feel realxed when I walked out the door.

I got off my schedule but it was - 9 pm meds, between 9 and 10 bedtime stuff and chilling out with no screens on. Wake up at 5:30 if I'm lucky that means 7 hours of sleep.

I'm not going to get 10 hours of sleep, it's not pratical (even though I had a pdoc who told me I hsould get 10 hours every night and when I pointed out that would give me about 1 1/2 hours of time between getting home from work and going to bed on the weekdays he said it was something I'd have to live with. And he wanted me to have a social life. Not compatible that plan).

I am a life long insomniac AND I have something of a resistance or I metabalize medicine that makes me sleepy faster so I'm an outlier in that what can put other people to sleep right away makes me slightly drowsy,

I'm kind of crossing the axis of where much needed sleep conjoins with high seroquel dose. Yuck. Now I'm left tired during the day.

This gif just seems to be highly sarcastic to me right now
