Abstract

Sleep deprivation (SD) can induce a prompt decrease in depressive symptoms within 24h. Following the recovery night, however, a relapse into depression occurs in most patients. Recovery sleep, naps and even very short episodes of sleep (microsleep; MS) during SD have been shown to provoke a rapid relapse into depression. This study tested the hypothesis that modafinil reduces MS during SD and stabilizes the treatment response to PSD compared to placebo.
