Small thing that made a difference for me with a sleep routine.
Write it down on paper, in the room, not in an app you will not open.
The first two weeks are the hard part, after that it is automatic.
Took me years to work this out.
Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster.
Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.
Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you.

Sleep first. Bad night, bad day, more symptoms. Fix that before changing anything else.
Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.
Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers. Three years in on a sleep routine and it lines up.
Same here.
Same here.
Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.
The last ten percent of a taper takes as long as the first ninety. Nobody says so until you are in it.
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
Same here.
The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time. Same for me with a sleep routine, unfortunately.
