I guess I thought you were referring to insomnia that is a direct result of bipolar disorder- so yes in this context the proper mood stabilizer(s) and other meds (I have comorbid conditions) do in fact improve my sleeping patterns. During manic episodes my sleep decreases to 4-0 hrs/night, during depressions I can sleep 18hrs/day. When euthymic (rarely) I sleep 7hrs/night.- Judy
