Indeed great minds DO think alike! I bet anything that your insomnia triggered your mania or vice versa. It was a gut feeling which that medical journal article I found online supports. I still think you may also have delayed phase sleep too, as a result of not sleeping. Best to get that cleared up with a sleep doctor though as he or she will know for sure. Also, the meds you're on; individually or combined could be fekking with your sleep and causing you to be manic when you shouldn't be manic. I hope you can get it sorted. Sleep is so important!
