I'm dealing with this myself, Capnkirk. It's a frustrating cycle part of bipolar. I've been taking Seroquel for sleep, myself, because I am such a "light touch" with meds that it only takes 25 mg to put me out after 1.5 hours or so, but without it I'm just UP and AWAKE and NOT SLEEPY AT ALL, which sucks. I hope that you can figure out another way to get some sleep. Sorry I don't have any answers, but I sure do relate to what you're feeling. Good luck!
