Interesting study! I know someone who was suffering from depression and was taking zoloft I believe. The thing is, he was falling sleep all over the place and didn't suffer from insomnia at all. I don't think that he was undergoing sleep deprivation therapy!

Hey, I've been having insomnia for awhile now. However, just recently I was chatting with folks over at the live forever site at http://letslivelonger.blogspot.com/2009/04/sleep-better-you-can-do-it.html and together we worked through some of my scheduling, diet and exercise routines and I am starting to sleep better. Thanks guys!

As a clinician, I probably wouldn't advise my bipolar clients to deprive themselves of sleep. My experience is that sleep deprivation may short circuit a major depression, but it tends to tilt bipolar patients into a major manic phase.
