Definitely sounds like a manic episode to me...I would recommend you print out your post to take with you when you go for your evaluation with the doctor.
Although my sleep meds work fairly well, if I take them too early (before 11:00pm), they do very little or nothing for me unless I haven't slept well for several days. I have always been a night person and that is when I have the most energy. I find it much easier to sleep during the day, which I try to avoid beyond a 1 -2 hour nap if absolutely necessary. I have a diagnosis of Primary Insomnia along with the bipolar and other dx's. My mom says that even as an infant I would just sit in my crib all night and cry, and then finally fall asleep at dawn. IDK, maybe I have vampire blood in my veins LOL...
Is your evaluation with the doc soon? I hope it goes well!
