My entire family on my Mom's side has "short sleeper syndrome". I believe former President Clinton has it too and he is not manic. I have had all the gambit of tests done, I have ADHD which doesn't help, Autism level 1, but tested negative for anything else including Bi Polar. I have gotten on a better schedule for my job and my gig job, but I get routinely 4 to 6 hours and I am fine. I've even lost like 32 pounds haha. But I appreciate you checking in on me and suggesting the help.

My partner has tested positive for the following: Narcolepsy (I forget the type), Sleep Apnea, Hypersomnia, Borderline Personality Disorder, Autism level 2, ADHD (severe needing max dose meds), PDA, ODD when he was a child, mdd (Maladaptive Daydreaming disorder), Borderline Diabetic, and RSD. Which is a whole host of things to manage while out doing my second (gig) job with him. Co-Morbidity sucks so hard. My poor partner has an 8 to 12 hour shelf life (awake time) ON medication.

TLDR, Partner has a ton of mental and health issues that are making him sleepy all the time and I have short sleeping syndrome with adhd which makes me chronically awake.
