Ask HN: Have You Tried Wake Therapy?
This comes up on HN with relative frequency in comments. There's more on it recently and I've personally found it to be potentially helpful as an anti-depressant and potentially nootropic treatment, but with also obviously significant side effects.
- qnsi 7y agoI wouldn't try it unless my doctor recommended it. This is the first time I am hearing about this, but it looks like some kind of fad treatment. Is it backed by studies? Sleep seems to be super needed by our bodies, so I don't see any mechanism of how it can be helpful
