According to Hypnos's page, Hypnos is the friend of the narrator of the story 'Hypnos', however upon re-reading the text there is no evidence that the friend is hypnos:
"But always i shall guard against the mocking and insatiate hypnos, lord of sleep, against the night sky, and against the mad ambitions of knowledge and philosophy" -Hypnos
Notice how hypnos is the antagonist.
The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia Third Edition refers to hypnos as the being that shines forth the red and gold beam upon the friend of the narrator and whom dwells in the corona borealis constellation.
This doesn't change any of Hypnos's abilities or tier, but the summary of Hypnos referring to him as the narrator's friend i believe is incorrect. This also implies Hypnos was not maddened by the sight of the outer gods, rather the friend was maddened by the sight of hypnos.
