You don’t need every symptom to be manic/hypomanic. For example, there were many days in my hypomania where I was sleeping excessively, but I was also physically unwell. The reduced sleep appeared later. I also lacked grandiose thoughts throughout the whole episode. If the you or the people around you believe you may be in an episode, I would take that seriously.
