But I'll tell you this: I give it my very best shot to stay into a routine, remain into that routine and adhere to that schedule of sleep, because if you don't separate the two, your functioning ability during The Day, separated from your downtime and sleep at night, I would imagine that our days are going to become worse and worse as The Days go by, and with bipolar disorder.”
