In reply to sleep deprivation statistically lifts mood., posted by katekite on May 28, 2002, at 18:14:13
Oooh. No, I don't think any nursing mothers were in that study. When I was nursing, I was terribly sleep deprived. It did nothing to enhance my mood.
No, sleep deprivation only makes me terribly anxious. I'm thinking that hypomania and anxiety might be similar, in that they both are an upper, which is why sleep calms them down.
When you already have a sleep disorder, losing sleep has the opposite effect. That's just my opinion from my experience.
Nice try, though! (I actually did feel better waking at 3:00 than I did taking two sleeping pills and sleeping til 6. But that's just because the pills grogged me.)
