If your mood changes that often, it might just be that you get depressed after having slept some hours (so it starts in the early morning; more severe depression in the mornings is common) and therefore you sleep longer.

But I don't have much experience of (relatively stable) hypomania. I had it for 2 years before my first mania, which is my default now (what leads up to it is somewhat similar, but erratic). Even then, when mixed with depression and changing rapidly (a "mixed state"), I might sleep some hours (still less than normal), but any sleep routine is hopeless.

But if you are fatigued because of other reasons, in hypomania, it can completely offset any lack of (enough) sleep.

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.
