When normal (when is that?) then 8 hours and I feel rested. Otherwise, whether depressed or manic I can't sleep. Even when I'm sleeping I'm not resting. I can sleep for 8 hours and wake up feeling like I haven't slept for five seconds.

The difference between manic and depressed is that when I'm manic I am not sleepy. When I'm depressed I am sleepy. Either way, I have horrible insomnia or sleep without rest. I can't fall asleep if there is sunlight, (I can sleep in the day only if it was dark when I fell asleep.) I've been this way for so long. I feel like I'm floating along through the day in a half-dream a lot, because I'm so tired. I lay down and sleep and wake up exhausted.
