This is the first I've ever heard of hypomania, which I often have in conjunction with sleep deprivation. I also had never heard of Bipolar II disorder.

It's not as dangerous as the kind of mania you get with bipolar 1, but if it occurs to you often, you might want to speak with a doctor. As I understand it, it's difficult to completely control without medical assistance and can have negative effects on your health.
