Being relative - that's an excellent observation, I agree. For example, my required amount of sleep when not on sedating meds is 9 to 10 hours. When manic, I'll sleep 4 to 5 hours. Dr. W. frequently points out that for me, 4 hours of sleep is part of mania. But the word "relative" - now, that makes good sense.
