If you are on medication which is very sedating, such as antipsychotics (which is highly probable with a diagnosis of bipolar), then concentrating in the morning may be near impossible due to the sedation. Having someone to take notes means that you wont miss out on vital lectures just because you cant function properly in the mornings.
