Therapeutic effect of sleep deprivation in patients with premenstrual syndrome
BL Parry and TA Wehr
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.
