Show Notes
In Episode 92, I dive into some clinical trials that investigate if one night of sleep deprivation can reduce symptoms of depression in major depressive disorder or biopolar depression. I give an example of a sleep deprivation protocol that scientists used that resulted in 7 weeks of lasting benefit in individuals. How does sleep deprivation have these benefits? Tune in to find out!
