Abstract
Eight of 10 women with premenstrual depression responded to one night''s total sleep deprivation and maintained their improvement after a night of recovery sleep. In responders, subsequent late-night partial sleep deprivation was more effective than early-night deprivation.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
