I would just add that there is a difference between reduced sleep and a reduced need for sleep. You do not function as well with the reduced sleep. People who are manic function just fine on 4 or less hours of sleep. They just don't need any more than that.
I tend to agree with the others. You don't appear to be bipolar. Perhaps there were periods of time in the past when your depression was less severe or in remission that you are now looking at with suspicion as being possibly manic episodes.
Your self-reporting is excellent.
