How it works
Normalises circadian rhythm and slow-wave sleep architecture disrupted by depression. Sleep deprivation exacerbates negative emotional processing; restorative sleep supports emotional regulation.
Sleep restriction therapy should be guided by a professional if depression is severe, as extreme sleep deprivation can temporarily worsen mood in some individuals.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
