Hallucinations from mania are probably caused by sleep deprivation. Even if you're not consciously tired, your mind and body are.

  No. Mania by definition includes psychosis (otherwise it's hypomania). Psychosis is roughly defined as "loss of contact with reality", and delusions and hallucinations are the main symptoms. Sleep deprivation can certainly trigger mania though.

    Hypomania -> sleep deprivation -> mania -> psychosis

      Sleep deprivation can trigger hypomania or mania. The one you get really depends on the person (type 1 or type 2 bipolar disorder).
