Sleep Deprivation and Depression

Posted by RedSoxFan79 on June 1, 2005, at 12:56:55

Does anyone know how partial sleep deprivation can work to help relieve depression and improve response to other meds. If I take 50 mg of lamictal right before bed I get very limited sleep and never get into deep sleep, no dreaming. Then I notice later in that day my response to Namenda is always improved and actually feel it working.
If I get a full nights sleep, I end up oversleeping and dont really feel too well. I work the night shift so my sleep patterns are varied anyways. Just wondering if anyone knows how partial sleep deprivation works and how safe it is. Thank you
