I have become manic a few times without a reduced need for sleep. However, it is not common to present this way. Yes, I have heard that some doctors look at anxiety as a symptom of bipolar disorder. I am not so sure about this. Perhaps it helps diagnose one's condition if other bipolar symptoms are present. I don't believe that hypomania is a phenomenon of health, though. If you do experience hypomania, that would be a clue to your illness having a bipolar diathesis. Perhaps what you describe as hypomania is simply a healthy high energy state.
