I've found sleep deprivation to be a great way around parnate insomia. I stay awake 36 hrs and then sleep solidly for about 12hrs.
Is prolonged sleep deprivation of this sort dangerous?
(i'm speaking physically not from impaired driving etc..) or is this simplistic and idiosynchratic?
http://essentialpsychopharmacology.com/articles/66_4.htmlConversely, I've also read numerous case studies about individuals who cannot sleep (and/or do not REM) due to (brain damage, etc), and who show no siginficant ill effects.
In doing this I'm able to have deep restfull sleep without the use of sleep aids-and get a whop load done.
Parnate makes sleep look like death, when just days ago it was an escape....
I do know sleep deprivation is the most empirically proven form of a "homeopathic treatment to depression.
Can anyone unravel the mysteries of sleep?
