Sleep and your mood.
As said earlier mood disorders are closely associated with sleep disturbances.
What is the relationship between sleep and mood?
Studies have shown that transient sleep deprivation can lead to an elevation of mood. A depressed person feels much better after overnight sleep deprivation.
Sleep deprivation can increase the risk of precipitating an attack of mania in a person predisposed to Bipolar disorder. Many persons develop their first manic episodes during festival seasons. They go to the temple yards to watch the late night celebration and fireworks. This is repeated frequently as most of the festivals are clustered in the same period. The resultant sleep deprivation triggers a manic episode.
Another condition that can be worsened by sleep deprivation is epilepsy. Sleep deprivation can precipitate an attack of seizure in a person predispose to it or in whom the disease is under control using drugs.
