Mark,
First, a big THANKS for those links about sleep deprivation and depression - two of them were over my head (too technical for me to understand), but I get the impression that sleep deprivation can help reduce depression altough the effect doesn't last.
I'm curious to know what kind of work you do based on what you said about your schedule and also you mentioned something about auto-archiving posts here -- do you work for/with Dr. Bob?
You said that sometimes you are "stimulated by work and able to push through the midnight to four a.m. period" and then you can sleep for about five hours and go back to work, then sleep like a log that night. Sounds like you may not have *regular* (9-5) work hours if you're able to do this?
Also, why do you drink all that cranberry juice when you do the sleep deprivation - does cranberry juice have some kind of positive effects?
Thanks for any answers and info.
-Janelle
