Anyone else here notice if they get alot less sleep than usual (my healthy nights sleep is between 6.5 hours and 8.5 hours on weekends usually) for a prolonged period of time, that chronic lack of sleep causes them to become/induces Hypomania or Mania? Im Bipolar II so it only causes Hypomania in me. Just anyone elses input would be great. I definitely see a correlation between the two, though.

yes i see a big difference between when i'm hypomanic and depressed where my sleep is concerned, when i'm high i sleep a lot less than i normally would, between about 5/7 hrs a night non consistent.
also lack of sleep makes me jittery and weird as well, also hypomanic i would say, a few people have also noticed this correlation also.

I have Bipolar I and have been up for two days or maybe more its hard to keep track after so long without sleep. Insomnia and mania go together...either one can trigger the other. Anyone have a way to fall asleep other than medication 'cause they don't work when Im manic?

Hi Dolphin,
I hope you ended up finding some way to fall asleep. I don't have a sure fire way of going to sleep either when I am in my up moods. Unfortunately, the only thing that does work is A LOT of sleeping medication to get me to pass out. I am usually not asleep long though and I do not kike to do that. So, I am up, trying to figure out what to do since I can't go to work for a few more hours.
