Have you tried an antihistamine, melatonin or antipsychotic to improve your quality of sleep? If you use an antipsychotic, you might want to switch to one with a shorter half-life (before you go to sleep) or one that is less antihistaminic. Even an SSRI could maybe help you, since serotonin is converted to melatonin at nightfall (provided you sleep in a sufficiently darkened room).

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
