In reply to 24 hour sleep deprivation for depression?, posted by nutsy on August 5, 2001, at 17:46:01
I've tried. Er, not for 24 hours, but when I didn't sleep well the night before, I purposely stayed up til 11 or 12 so I wouldn't be in an odd sleep pattern and I'd hoped to sleep better that way. It didn't work, and the sleep deprivation made my depression worse. Last time I was sleep deprived at home, my mom thought I was having a nervous breakdown. :(
