I agree there are definitely questions around this thesis, and how the study would support it. mainly i like questioning the purpose of sleep, as it seems so unknown.
personally, my depression is associated with a desire for more sleep and a vegetative state. whereas mania and elevated moods generally accompany reduced sleep.
i've found the maoi's to often generate an insomnia which though uncomfortable, is associated with better more restful sleep and less REM.
