My husband and I allow our son to live as normally as possible when he’s healthy. We stress a healthy life style including getting enough sleep but that is not always realistic. Our son just finished his first year away from home at college. I know that he had some sleepless nights but that did not seem to trigger an episode. We do make sure that appropriate people know about his disease so if he starts an episode they can contact us. The university he attends were great when he did have a little problem and contacted us right away.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. We are all trying to do our best with the little knowledge we have. It’s nice to share experiences with each other.
