I was wondering if it's normal for bipolar people to have an "off" circadian cycle. I am just not a morning person, no matter what I do. It's been that way for me since I can remember, but seems to get worse with age. I can barely function or think until at least 1 or 2 in the afternoon, and my best time of day is between 6 and 10 pm. Making myself go to bed early just doesn't work. Is it just me?

Lots of people without bipolar disorder are night owls too, and not all people with bipolar disorder are night owls.

However, I do think sleep issues are characteristic of people with bipolar disorder, especially during a hypomanic or manic phase of course but also in general.
