6. Is it a Bug or a Feature?

More from the Wikipedia article:

John Gartner's book The Hypomanic Edge[9] claims notable people including Christopher Columbus, Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Carnegie, Howard Zinn and Louis B. Mayer owe their innovation and drive, as well as their eccentricities, to hypomanic temperaments.[page needed] Gartner suggests that the constructive behaviors associated with hypomania may contribute to bipolar disorder's evolutionary survival.[page needed] Critics charge that Gartner vastly overstates his case, however.[10] Followed in his analysis people like Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Bill Clinton,[11] Charlie Sheen,[12] Rahm Emmanuel[13] and Mark Zuckerberg.[14]

Maybe you want to get Gartner's book.

I will reiterate that I am not a doctor (neither was that nurse), and all I know about you is gleaned from a few posts on this board (and she had even less information than that).

The one theme through all of them is that exercise (bicycling or the gym) improves your mood.
That would be reason enough to keep doing it, regardless of any labels they want to put on you.
I wouldn't be surprised if it helps you sleep better as well.


It ended up being somewhere upwards of a 3-mile swim this morning.
