Not a cycle!!

I agree with the others - it could be nothing. I sometimes have trouble sleeping/staying asleep, as do most people I know. (My husband is the one diagnosed with bipolar).

I also understand your concern. I can't help but worry when my husband doesn't seem to be acting quite right, and usually assume it's a cycle. Lately, it's been nothing. Good luck, and it's a good sign that you are so aware of yourself. Remember you can call your doctor if it gets worse since you know what's going on.

Since starting my medications, and having my cpap machine I am not requiring the 14 hours of sleep any longer... unless you start doing something really strange, I would not worry too much about it..

Most of us have the challenge of our other halves, thinking that anything we do has to be because we are "bipolar", just because I get pissed at hubby and yell at him, doesn't mean I am having a cycle day, he has days that he is a real asshole, and anyone would yell at him..lol..

If you have not had a complete physical exam in a while, that might be a good thing to get too, to rule out any medical problems. Remember just because we have a mental illness doesn't make us any less subject to having things that "normal" people do.. and our illness is not who we are.
