sugarhorse, I think my Insomnia is related to my Bipolar, but in my case not specifically Hypomania as I am like this in terms of sleep all the time and I don't often have hypomania or mania these days as my meds prevent that, which is great.

But I do definitely believe that hypomania and mania affect sleep. I suffered terribly from those parts of Bipolar for years and my sleep was just ridiculous. Ironically the only way I functioned at work in a high powered job was the hypomania and mania themselves, even though they were the things stopping me sleeping. I hope that makes sense.
