[SIZE="a"]Last week I lapsed, for the first time in many years, into a very manic state that could have been potentially dangerous, but thankfully I was in a good place and stayed safe. Turns out that although I've been getting much less and much more inconsistent sleep for six months, the insomnia was affecting me more than I thought, and it may have just finally caused things to snap.

In the last six months I've been doing all I can to regulate sleep and practice good "sleep hygiene." I don't hang out in my bed anymore, unless I am going to sleep soon, I wind down before bed, try to go to bed at a similar time every night, and do have sleep medication, but nothing has seemed to work well in that time. I am not sure what to do to fix this, because I can't afford for something like this to happen again.

Does anyone have any suggestions?[/size]
