For me, I loved the insomnia--I was hypo manic & would sleep about 3 hours & then feel really revved up. My husband had to sleep in another room (for other reasons as well--having bad marr. probs.), but i could read & enjoy myself being alone. Now I've been put on Trazodone & klnonopin cuz I eventually crashed into a major depression, but now I sleep about 6 hours a night & I miss the free time I had when manic.--Suzy
