You're being very wise by just keeping an eye on things since less sleep can lead to more problems with hypomania sometimes turning into actual mania. At least for now, your meds are being managed, so a burst of energy isn't such a concern right now (so it sounds). Hopefully things will stay in check. You seem to have good insight, which is a plus.
I see what my aunt goes through (she has BP1 and schizophrenia) and I don't want to go down that path if I can help it. Some days are definitely better than others, as I'm sure many of you can relate to.
