This is how it was explained to me and it seems to make sense. Insomnia and mania are VERY different.......with insomnia, you can't sleep but are very tired. You feel foggy and lack energy. With mania, you can't sleep but feel energized and motivated. Insomnia has led to mania for me. I think it's natural to turn to god when you are suffering. If it's helpful, it's not a problem. I understand your apprehension based on past experience however and talking to your doc about your lack of sleep and religious preoccupation might be in order. (((Hugs))). No matter the cause, missing sleep for too long rarely ends well. I hope you find a solution.
