That's definitely a major factor for me as well. There doesn't seem to be much information out there at all about to what extent this is a bipolar symptom but it seems plausible that it is. It's really had a major impact on my life, but it's easy to overlook because Pdocs don't ask for it and I don't always notice it myself, at least not for a long time.
