I'd like to compile a list of sleep hygiene techniques. I haven't slept more than a few hours a night for a month now. I have bipolar disorder and it's doing some real bad things to it. I've seen 5 am so many times. I know that if I can get my sleep pattern back I'll be ok. I try and go to bed at a normal time but I just lie there and have to get up and do something else. I don't sleep during the day unless I absolutely have to, so that I can hopefully sleep at night. I try and do sedate things before the time when I want to go to bed. But even my bipolar medication won't help me.

What are some of your techniques for getting sleep back on track?
