I&#x27;ve looked into that line of research too. It&#x27;s very interesting to me, I&#x27;ve also noticed that sleep deprivation eases my depression, even on top of what my antidepressant already does. Unfortunately, there doesn&#x27;t seem to be many if any studies about it since the late 90s or early 2000s, and the mechanisms still aren&#x27;t very well understood (like with the rest of depression).
