> What is this pattern?
I'm not sure. I'll be interested to see what others have to say about it.
> I've never heard of bipolar having a consistent daily pattern month after month?
Yes. Usually, it follows a pattern similar to atypical unipolar depression.
My pattern looks something like this:
Early morning: least depressed
10:30 - 12:30 PM: medium depressed
1:00 - 3:00 PM: most depressed
4:30 - 7:30: medium depressed
Late evening: less depressed
• What time do you go to bed?
• How does sleep deprivation affect you?
• Have you ever tried taking melatonin? Did it make you feel worse?
The cortisol thing sounds interesting. It might be informative to have a basic blood cortisol test taken at 8:00AM and 4:00PM. Racer is a real wiz with that stuff.
