Bipolar Mania
I’m starting to feel that, as with everything in life, there is a reason for mania. My hypo-manic mind gets to the point where I can figure out anything. Deep, relevant, important answers to problems. If my wife would let me I could take apart anything, and assemble back in better shape than when it was originally. Most of the time. There’s been a few things over the years that doesn’t go back together, so she keeps me away from most things. But when my mind moves from hypo-mania to mania, as it does for some of us, it’s not a pleasant prospect. The definition of mania is psychosis, or losing the ability to know you’re manic. When this happens, sleep suffers radically. I sleep 3 to 4 hours a night, almost entirely dependent on sleeping pills to even begin to put me down.
But the initial point of this post: When manic, sleep goes away. When sleep goes away the mind loses it’s ability to process as much. The less active mind is therapeutic for the mania. So once again, a reason for everything.
