There are two differences with my Parnate treatment this time. I am taking lithium 300 mg and prazosin 6 mg. This is why I discontinued the prazosin as an experiment. I relapsed within 36 hours of discontinuation and recovered within a few hours of reinstatement.

I don't think so. I have a tendency to oversleep when I am at my baseline depression. I never had a sleep study, so I don't know what my EEG looks like.

Have you tried nefazodone? I believe it improves sleep architecture.
