Regular Sleep

I wanted to talk about sleep for a minute. Regular sleep is super key for a bipolar brain. Sometimes it feels like years since I’ve had regular sleep since I’ve been a touring musician with babies. And since we’ve worked nights for all these years it is hard to actually decide to go to bed early. But now that we’re home, I’m recommitting to setting my alarm at the same time everyday and working toward regulating my sleep. I read that another word for bipolar disorder is “fragile circadian rhythm disorder” which I can relate to! Regular sleep is such a healer for me in combination with good medicine, healthy foods and time outside.
