Default Insomnia tied to BiPolar

Started keeping a diary thru my sleep app and FitBit.

Finding a trend.... 14 hours one day, then progressing down to 1 hour within 4-5 days. Then back to the 14 hours and back down to one hour.

When I sleep 14 hours, I feel soo refreshed, energetic, mood stable.

When I go down to 1-3 hours, my hypomanic kicks in. Also restless legs kick in, unfortunately then.

I have tried Melatonin and I don't feel well on that, started at 2mg. It really doesn't do anything for me.

I stopped using my C-Pap due to chronic sinus infections. And the appliance kept me awake. Have tried them all.

Any suggestions?
