Potential mechanisms of the sleep therapies for depression.

Sleep deprivation for one night has been investigated as a treatment for depression since the first publications describing its antidepressant properties almost 30 years ago [Pflug and Tolle, 1971: Int Pharmacopsychiatry 6:187-196]. It remains a field of active research. It is the only intervention consistently demonstrated to produce next-day antidepressant results. This makes sleep deprivation an exciting and unique tool to study the pathophysiology of depressive disorders and to formulate targets for novel antidepressant agents. Importantly, it is also an effective, but underused, clinical treatment for unipolar and bipolar depression.
