Watch out. I'm learning that being sick physically can bring on hypo/mania. I was in something of a mixed episode for a week or so, then I caught a nasty upper-respiratory infection which has done a number on my sleep because my asthma has flared up and I wake up coughing several times a night. I'm coming down now thanks to my PRNs, but I've been clearly hypomanic for several days.
So be careful, try to go to bed and get up at the same times each day, and of course use your PRNs if you have them or call your pdoc if you don't. Feel better soon.
