    The patient was experiencing disturbed sleep patterns related to hyperactivity associated with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder involves periods of mania and depression, with mania characterized by increased energy and decreased need for sleep.

The nurse's plan was to help regulate the patient's sleep cycle, avoid caffeine and a heavy meal before bed, increase daytime physical activity, and evaluate if the patient's sleep had improved after 8 hours.
