Hello,

I'm wondering how "decreased need for sleep" feels for other people. I've only been diagnosed relatively recently (BPII) and trying to remember anything specific about past episodes is tricky.

For the past 4 days I've slept between 4-6 hours per night and have felt awake and full of energy, but also kind of sick. 

Normally when I'm sleep deprived I feel quite nauseated and light-headed, but also like everything is an effort. My brain, muscles, eyes, and organs will all be tired. 

At the moment it's as if the first three are fine, but my insides are fatigued. I have periods of feeling nauseated and dizzy, which mostly happen if I need to eat or have recently eaten. I feel as though I've eaten a washing machine that occasionally does a spin cycle. 

Anyone else?
