I never fully stop sleeping while hypomanic either. Rarely, I'll get down to 3-4 hours/night. I have to be really up there for that. Usually I just sleep normally (7-8 hrs) or I get 5-6 hrs.

I get different sleep symptoms with each depressive episode. Sometimes my sleep is normal (though I'm always fatigued, during every depression). During my last episode, I slept 12 hours out of 24. A year ago, I had frequent awakenings and sleep paralysis.

I know that I'm weird.
