I also don't miss the lack of sleep when in mania... I'd honestly walk back and forth for 4 hours into the night just thinking and analyzing because my mind was just so active. Made it almost impossible to sleep.
I miss feeling so great and amazing (Doesn't help that I hardly ever feel completely happy so it makes me miss it even more). But I don't miss the negatives. It's most likely for the best.

Yes, I dont miss the lack of sleep or the negative side to it, or my irresponsabilities that come with it, I get super creative, I am very creative as is, I love to draw, but when manic, I feel on top of the world, but the lack of sleep, does hinder my judgement. The crash afterwards is not good, I go from wonderful, to being very irritable angry , although, I have been like that usually these days. I tend not to be on the depressive side, of this disorder.
