Someone in r/BipolarReddit asked: How many do you sleep when stable vs (hypo)manic? Depressed?
While this is interesting analysis, I wonder if it's close to the best data we have on this.
Personally as a bipolar person, I can say this definitely correlates with my experience! You could maybe add my experience to the data: + Severe mania - 0-3 hours avg (often in involuntary naps) + Hypomania - 1-5 hours avg (w/ all-nighters) + Elevated/sub-hypomania - 5 hours avg + Stable - 6-8 hours avg + Depressive - 8-10 hours avg + Severe depression - 10-16 hours avg
