Just a quick follow-up:
I think your doctor is right regarding his diagnosis of Bipolar I. From your descriptions, your mania has demonstrated episodes of severity that do not occur in Bipolar II. Lithium seems to be particularly effective in Bipolar I.
Lack of sleep - sleep deprivation - can induce mania when it is not already present.
Mania often produces reduced need for sleep. 3 hours a day is very common as a maximum that still allows someone to feel rested and have boundless energy.
