FWIW, my understanding of Bipolar Disorder and sleep problems is that during a manic phase you tend to not feel like you need much sleep... as opposed to feeling like you need sleep, but you can't (exhaustion, insomnia).
Also, diagnoses used to be real important to me, but I'm not nearly as hung up on that as I once was. (I figured once I got a DX, all my problems would be solved... or solvable anyway.) Now I just concentrate on making the lifestyle changes, and finding the treatments plans and therapies to make me feel and function better.
