You're right I am not a Bi-polar depression sufferer I merely likend the highs to the ones experienced by a Bi-polar person. I do get a bit more down when not on one of these highs but no more than any other random healthy person who gets 6 hours a night. As for sleeping tablets, I tried them once and I was knocked out by them for 3 days and that was on one! I didn't eat for 2 days or drink anything because no one could wake me. When I eventually woke up my mom offered to cook for me and had to re-awake me before I actually ate the meal (it was something on toast so not much cooking time) so in the end I decided against medicating my insomina. The bouts are rare and even rarer do they last more than a week. I have been on one currently since last weds but have managed to squeeze a few hours of sleep in to it (about 7 - 10 hours) and I can actually now feel that the high is starting to die down to normal (starting to exhibit signs of tiredness, yawning and such). These bouts I can live with, they don't endanger my job or social life neither are they life threatening (if I thought there was any real danger, IE. 6th day and no signs of slowing up I would of course seek medical attention) so I figure rather be up for 3 - 6 days and hyper and happy than asleep for 2 - 4 days and down when eventually awoken.
