That can be the nature of the illness. Prior to being diagnosed some nights I would get 3 hours sleep, do a full day at work, go to the gym, ride my horse etc. etc. The issue with the lack of sleep is it can trigger either hypomania, mania or major depression. I hope something starts to work for you. Sleeping tabs can do the trick for me most times, but like last night I woke up 3 times. You may want to discuss other options. I was on serequel (atypical anti-psychotic) for 2 years and I slept like a baby.
