Sleep deprivation in depression [PDF]

open access: possibleExpert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2010
Sleep deprivation (SD) is a powerful antidepressant treatment that shows antidepressant responses within hours in 40-60% of depressed patients.

Electroencephalogram and sleep deprivation

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1959
The occipital alpha rhythm was recorded from 10 subjects before, during and after a 98-hour period of sleep deprivation. The alpha rhythm declined progressively and was nearly absent in most subjects after 50 hours of deprivation. At every stage of deprivation the alpha activity was smaller during counting as compared to adding numbers.

BDNF in sleep, insomnia, and sleep deprivation

open access: yesAnnals of Medicine, 2016
The protein brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors involved in plasticity of neurons in several brain regions. There are numerous evidence that BDNF expression is decreased by experiencing psychological stress and that, accordingly, a lack of neurotrophic support causes major depression ...

Sleep Deprivation in the Rat

Science, 1966
Sleep deprivation, induced by injections of dextroamphetamine or by forced treadmill activity, resulted in a temporary increase in daily sleep time. However, increasing the period of sleep deprivation above 24 hours to 72 or 120 hours did not result in increased recovery sleep above that present in the 24-hour group.

Sleep Deprivation Headache

Cephalalgia, 1990
Headaches due to insufficient or interrupted sleep are generally labelled “tension headaches” of psychogenic origin. In 25 healthy subjects, variable amounts of sleep loss (1–3 h for 1–3 nights) caused headaches lasting from 1 h to all day. The headache was most frequently a dull ache, a heaviness or a pressure sensation felt in the forehead and/or at
