Do you think sleep issues are a part of bipolar

During episodes, yes. As for outside of episodes, not necessarily. Not that a person's own particular case can't be a factor, during stability. Or, sleep issues could be from something else. Plenty of people without bipolar disorder also have chronic sleep issues. In my own case, my sleep is perfectly normal during stability, unless I'm having anxiety or stress issues. During depressions, I lean towards hypersomnia. During hypomania and mania, insomnia, or at least reduced sleep. Usually during the manic side I don't mind the insomnia at all.
What is a symptom of your depressions or hypomanias/manias that is less typical?
