睡眠不足能够对抗抑郁症

而现在，一项大数据研究对1974年到2016年间的66项独立研究进行了分析，发现对于大约一半的病人来说，睡眠不足能够快速缓解抑郁症；至少在实验环境下是这么回事。

There were also different types of sleep deprivation represented, including total and partial, as well as short term and longer term.

研究中的睡眠剥夺有很多种，包括完全睡眠剥夺和部分睡眠剥夺，以及短期睡眠剥夺和长期睡眠剥夺。

The team found that partial sleep deprivation, in which the patient was only allowed to sleep for 3-4 hours for one night followed by forced wakefulness for 20-21 hours, was just as effective at reducing depression symptoms as total sleep deprivation for 36 hours.

研究人员发现，在缓解抑郁症的效果上，部分睡眠剥夺和完全睡眠剥夺一样有效；在部分睡眠剥夺中，病人只被允许睡3到4个小时，然后会被强制保持清醒20到21个小时，而完全睡眠剥夺则让病人连续清醒36个小时。

But, hat there's a correlation between sleep deprivation and an improvement in symptoms doesn't mean that it can replace other treatments, though.

但是，虽然睡眠不足能缓解抑郁症的症状，但这并不意味着病人就不需要其他的治疗。

Several studies have found that the effect only lasts as long as the patient stays awake following the sleep deprivation for up to 80 percent or more of respondents.
