My main trigger for hypomania seems to be sleep disturbance.
Travel seems to come in a close second - especially when traveling across time zones - and often involves sleep disturbance and a lot of social stimulus too. I also end up doing a lot of drinking with all that socializing, sometimes (often?) to the point of binge drinking.
I'll end up with a total of almost 100 days of travel this year (mostly solo), so it's really been throwing me for a loop.
Does anyone else have problems with travel as a trigger? How do you deal with it? Any suggestions for strategies to minimize the damage?
