Just one more thing if you're still around...

> Sleep deprivation can also be pro-convulsant, which is also consistent with an antidepressant, or promanic effect.I know from experience that the above is true. But in the case of siezure activity and mania that presents as rage, is it still SD/dopamine related? If not, fatigue and exhaustion don't seem to fit as both conditions (siezure, manic-rage) look like a kind of hyper active state has been triggered.
So what has the SD caused in these cases (if not dopamine activity)?
