The basics: bipolar 2 diagnosed 20 years ago. Currently on 450mg Wellbutrin, 20mg celexa, 1000mg depakote which I've been on for more than a year.

Recently, say the last month or two, I've been feeling pretty good. I've been exercising more, moved somewhere with more sunshine, and quit drinking for the most part (not intentionally, just my best friend quit drinking so our socialization is different. Before that I might have a few drinks 2-4 times a month).

Some days I'd actually say I feel really good. So good, that if I feel any better I'd worry about impending hypomania. Most days, I just feel good.

I've got a full time job as a server/assistant restaurant manager. I work 40-45 hours a week. When I get up and going, I have energy, I'm in a good mood, I get things done. However, days when I don't have to work until 4pm, it's not unusual for me to sleep most of the day. I may wake up, have breakfast, but then lay down again and sleep a few more hours. It makes it difficult to keep up with housework and errands.

I try to be very good about sleep hygiene because I know how it can affect my mood. Not to mention, it's frustrating that I have the desire to do laundry or whatnot but I just feel so groggy and lethargic sometimes.

Does anyone have similar experience? Or advice on how to get myself up early and to stay up?
