Can staying awake beat depression? 8 years ago
I've felt that semi-manic state you're referencing when I haven't been sleeping. Several nights lately I've been in bed awake until 5:00 or so when I doze off (only to get up at 6 for work). In these situations, I've felt great considering my lack of sleep. In the long run, lack of sleep (for me) results in depression.
I'm probably not normal. I take three antidepressants and an anxiolytic.
