How to Involve the Family in Sleep Habits
To help regularize the sleep and wake cycle in people with bipolar disorder, it is necessary to involve their families. More specifically, these family members should be informed about how vulnerable people with the condition may be to daily activities. This awareness is important so that they can make proper changes to prevent episodes of depression or mania from occurring. For instance, avoid making too many noises or having parties during the night, which would lead them into a manic episode. Also, family members should learn the symptoms of bipolar disorder to provide support in these cases. [5]
