Can't sleep, hyper: Full-blown mania frequently includes profound insomnia, rapid thoughts, grandiose delusions, hyper-religiosity, and expansive, ill-considered behavior like excessive spending. Less severe or hypomania may present with less sleep, lots of energy, and varying amounts of ill-considered behavior like excessive spending but not as excessive as with full-blown mania. Recommend professional evaluation.
