The state where you reorganize the whole kitchen at 3am and call it genius.
means Marked by frenzied, abnormally elevated energy, excitement, or activity — sometimes the wild-eyed pole of bipolar mania, sometimes just everyday frantic intensity.
from From 'mania,' which traveled into English through Latin from Greek 'mania' — madness, frenzy, the kind of divine derangement the Greeks associated with possession by the gods. It's rooted in a verb meaning 'to rage' or 'to be furious,' and is likely a distant cousin of words tied to thinking and the mind. The adjective 'manic' is a later back-formation, built off 'mania' to describe someone living inside that frenzied weather.
