I have found that keeping as regular a sleep schedule as possible helps me feel more stabile. It isn't always easy, but it can be done.
But I am not bipolar, and I dont know what it feels like to be manic and not feel like I need any sleep.
I've had to pay attention to sleep issues because I have sleep apnea. The cpap machine helps, but not just for the apnea. the white noise from the machine also helps me not to wake up from street noises, neighbors coming in and out of the building, etc. Once asleep, I usually can even block out the phone (in the other room).
