Is it normal to always feel sleepy? It doesn't matter if I'm in a hypomanic phase, with all the elation and energy, my body is still sleepy, only that I fall asleep a lot harder and I usually wake up at least a few minutes earlier. Oh, and usually when I wake up, be it in the morning or in the middle of the night, my head is so full of thoughts and confusion. I even forget my name for a few seconds. When I'm depressed, I fall asleep easier and wake up in the morning without forgetting who I am. And, of course, I'm still tired, as opposed to when I'm hypomanic.
