> Can you describe exactly what you experience when you are traveling? What were your sleep habits?Hmm. I feel myself getting excited and apprehensive at the same time. Will I be able to "deal" with being "on" for weeks at a time? I not only rise to the occasion but I actually enjoy myself and feel somewhat "normal". Sleep is disrupted but I keep going.
When I try forcing myself into activity at home it usually backfires. Sleep was a real issue this time when I got home. Severe jet lag, little sleep for days on end etc.

> There is a phenomenon called "kindling" that is sometimes used to explain mania. If you find traveling particularly stimulating, you might become more and more excited and kindle a mania or hypomania. The more kindled episodes that are allowed to occur, the easier it is to trigger them. Of course, I don't know if this is happening to you.Well I'll look into that. Thanks :)
