I found that the absolute best thing I could do to snap of a manic phase (and usually avoid the crash and burn) was to make sure I never go more than two days straight without at least 6 hours of sleep.
Still the mind. Drink chamomile tea, think about something that produces a pleasant relaxing feeling, walk, read, recognize that 100 years from now none of this bullshit will matter,...
Not sure about a routine
That's pretty much what I was referring to. I've found the same types of things useful when I've had trouble sleeping. (And I've found that getting a decent amount and quality of sleep one of the key things I can do to stay well.)
