Indeed there is a massive confounding factor in OP's dataset: they have recently written about their bipolar disorder diagnosis, which usually pairs less need for sleep with overconfidence and high self-esteem, but probably isn't causal in the way you or I might write poorly when sleep deprived.
As an example: consider the datapoint "Turning Down the Nobel Prize"[1], which appears to be the pre-launch announcement for their startup to literally cure cancer, drops a bunch of names, then implies they deserve an instant Nobel prize -- but not before another personal hero and pioneer gets one.
This data may be useful for OP in their own diagnosis and self-care, but is still n=1 in one very important dimension relevant to the rest of us.
Yeah, I highly doubt it has anything to do with a manic episode. It's some PR, some self deprecating humor, and it calls out someone else as deserving the credit.
And I'll go one further than 'weird attempt'- I think it's funny, at least enough to justify its length.
Not trying to kick anyone when they're down but it's massively important context to the dataset and to the writing. To quote the sleep metric database, that post was written on a 5.5 hour sleep day, in a long running streak of them. That's pretty textbook mania phase IMO. As supporting evidence, while it may have been an attempt at self deprecating humor, it also fits in the author's timeline listed elsewhere[1].
