I can relate, especially tonight. I'm manic often, I don't like to take my sleep meds because then I can't wake up. I slept 9 1/2 hours today and can barely function. I don't know how I'm gonna make it through this shift. I just caught myself walking down the hall with my eyes closed. Sleeping also makes me mean when I wake up, when manic, I'm really happy. People like me better when I'm manic & so do I.
