Hypomanic people tend to be unusually cheerful, have more than ample energy, and need little sleep. Hypomania is a pleasurable state. It may confer a heightened sense of creativity and power.

Sounds pretty good to me - know any place where I can get infected with it?

Be careful...hypomania goes along with this:

Bipolar Disorder (Mania) - Read about bipolar disorder (BD or manic-depressive illness), a brain disorder that causes dramatic mood swings (highs and lows) and affects a person's energy levels and ability to function. These highs and lows are episodes of mania and depression. The mania symptoms of manic depression include increased energy, extreme irritability, spending sprees, and increased sex drive. Depression symptoms include feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, decreased energy, thoughts of death or suicide, and chronic pain. Long-term preventive treatment combining medication and psychosocial treatment is recommended.
