Also, depressed people (and people with similar mental conditions) resist sleep also partially because being tired means that you feel less, and thus are relieved from the pain you feel more acutely when more awake.
How can sleep deprivation be both mild and acute?

That's exactly where my brain went. Now I need a Huberman Labs podcast telling me how I can incorporate this with my supplements and cold showers to achieve my maximum potential.
Don't forget to microdose shrooms as well, please.

It's an experimental study not an observational study. So that correlation won't have an effect here
Not so sure; the whole article is about people having a reason to pull an all nighter. Students mostly. That’s intense motivation breaking a stereotype, recipe for a high
Having suffered from severe depression for over forty years, this reminds me of when I was 17, 18, etc. and suddenly discovered that if I stayed up for two days, the problem went away. So I knew this a very long time ago; but it always seemed to me that, besides smoking, this was just about one of the worst habits you could develop. By my mid-twenties, I had stopped.
I recently was forced off of SSRIs after nearly ten years because I lost my psychiatrist and couldn't get a new one because the waitlists were ridiculous. After 10 years on them, the next 6 months were absolute hell (i legit thought at one point I might go full Joaquin Phoenix in Joker) but I made it through, no small part thanks to my wonderful amazing wife. Rebound depression have been an issue - though in general…
https://www.reddit.com/r/hangovereffect/ This sub-reddit is dedicated to people who've noticed this effect for ADHD and probably depression as well. Drinking alcohol somehow causes the same 'reversal' of symptoms, either motivation or other mood problems. Lots of discussion as to what causes it - and questions/theories on how to reproduce without alcohol. Alcohol causing sleeplessness, or sleep that's not the usual q…
I have ADHD, did never tried it with alcohol, but sleep deprivation works. I used it when working on important projects with deadlines. You kind of feel like in a parallel universe after a couple of a day if it's a interesting subject for you, ADHD gives you hyper focus, and sleep deprivation gives you this energy to push thru. It's like you don't even need the medication. If you combine it with ADHD medications it's…
Finished everything, flew home, and slept for 18 hours straight.

I had a period when I used THC (edibles) for sleep every night. This was one of the worst things I have ever done to myself. At first, you don't notice much side effects, but slowly it creeps up on you. It makes you depressed, depletes of any motivation, gives brain fog and you may just feel weird over all. When I quit I was amazed by how much better I started feeling and by how much my cognitive function improved. I…
~10 years from now we’re going to have better data on chronic THC consumption and after being a heavy user I’m pretty confident it’s going to shock a lot of people with negative externalities. Tip for getting off weed - start by lowering the damn dosage. A lot of commonly used products are the equivalent of a triple shot. And folks do it daily.

Try Type III cannabis (high cbd hemp). Nowadays it looks and smells like Type I cannabis (the high thc standard variety of weed). It has all the various combinations of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that contribute to the entourage effect except for THC ( i.e. amongst non-psychoactive hemp flower there are relaxing indicas for insomnia, functional hybrids for chronic pain, sativas for a pick-me-up, etc.
I've not tried it yet, but CBN seems to be the winner in this category. It's legal in all states if pure. Black Friday is coming and I plan on getting some from a vendor I've used in the past. Ping me for that info if you wish. YMMV.

Seems that I'm in the opposite. If I don't get enough sleep I would have noticeable bad mood.
