that's a site with some pretty good descriptions into bipolar disorder. i can't answer your questions because i've never heard of ritalin being prescribed for it, that just seems odd to me. (besides, it'll just get redirected to the med board anyway).
when i'm depressed, i used to sleep a LOT (now i'm too stressed to sleep), but when i'm manic, i can go for days on just a few hours of sleep each night, or i just don't want to sleep. but there's far more to bipolar than sleep schedules and patterns.
good luck!!
