The terms mania or hypomania annoy me and I rarely use them. It is just an experience for me but, I guess you coud match symptoms:

No sleep required. I forget or don't bother to eat. No time! Turn out brilliant ideas (not entirely dellusional there, exagerating? Yes.) Have great sex and lots! Do impulsive things you'd never experience otherwise like moving around the world on a whim or quitting your job without fear and entertain people! Colors and sounds get brighter and louder. Yea, you may get anxious, paranoid, terrified but, you know it is only because you're special. Sure, you might start drinking too much and using a whole bunch of drugs and sleeping with who ever, when ever but, so? I always stopped when I was "normal" again. Experiences. I soak 'em up because depression will likely kill me one day.
