Hi melissa -- Depression can effect sleep in either direction --too much or too little. I seem to recall that insomnia is actually the more common (especially in MDD as opposed to BP). Know what you mean though about it being confusing, because my typical pattern is hypersomnia, so it throws me when it goes the opposite way. Also, hypomania isn't necessarily cupcakes and roses, though it's often thought of that way.
I agree with the others that it could be mixed, or it could be just a jumble that isn't necessarily an episode, but that if it does become really problematic for you that you should give a call.
