Yes! This is me!

Now, I know if you sleep too much that's not good either. I can sleep for the recommended 8 hours straight, and I wake up just as tired as when I went to sleep or even more tired!

My mother-in-law, who is also bipolar, said that when she was diagnosed her doctor told her that sleep without rest was a symptom of bipolar. I don't know if that's true or not, but I feel like maybe it is. It's like my body goes through the motions of sleep. I lay down, close my eyes, drift off and dream, but something inside doesn't shut off like it's supposed to so I'm exhausted.
