Interestingly enough, sleep deprivation has been shown to help with depression in unipolar patients. I don't (intentionally) do this to myself because after a couple of nights of it, it'd bring on mania full force, but I thought it was interesting.
now that's strange. i wonder how many lifelong unipolar depressives they've studied, as opposed to the new mommies and such. my depression causes insomnia (my brain racing with thoughts of the past/present/future and every drop of pain within), to the point where some nights i do not sleep for one minute, and it certainly does not make me feel better in the morning. there's just exhaustion and impaired concentration on top of debilitating depression...so uh yeah. weird.
