When I was hypomanic or mildly mixed before I was medicated I often drank until I passed out. That gave me maybe 6 hours of sleep. I think without alcohol I maybe got 3 to 4. But when full blown manic, I'd be lucky to get 2 unless I passed out from drinking, then maybe 4?

I do NOT recommend self medicating with drugs or alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do occasionally get hypomanic even on my meds. What usually happens is that I become hypomanic during the day and then my night meds extinguish it and I sleep maybe 5 to 6 hours. Then the hypomania ramps up again in the morning. Usually I need an antipsychotic increase.
