There definitely can be a humorous side to hypomania (not as much full blown mania). It's good that you are aware of something amiss with your mood.

There were times in the past when I left the house in the middle of the night. Like your father, my husband pretty much ordered me to never do that again. Truth is, it can be risky being out late at night hypomanic/manic.And I think a loved one's minor nightmare is getting a call at 3 am finding out you're somewhere outside of the house.

If you really have no prn to help you get to sleep, I hope you will direct your late night energy into something more positive that is in the house. I've been known to bake in the middle of the night. Then at least you have the hold of the wooden spoon, and not your dad. If you don't get the wooden spoon reference, then that really ages me. What also ages me is that in my day many kids did get spankings. It wasn't as taboo back then as it is now. Even some schools (states) administered the paddle, and apparently over a dozen US states still allow it in schools. Oddly, of my over 300 blog posts, my post on the topic "story of being disciplined at school" has been the most viewed this particular month (June) with over 200 views alone (from google search finds), since June 1st. About 3,000 year to date. Don't get me wrong, I am not in favor of corporal punishment at schools. Sorry a bit off topic.
