The "morning hormonal" dump that gets offset by not sleeping could easily shift neuro-chemistry.
For (sufficiently) depressed people, any perceived shift is likely going to be a improvement.
Related, similar studies have postured that nights with occasional stirrups lead to a more rested day, un-intuitively.
The variation in sleep requirements within groups may have more obvious evolutionary benefits; the security of camps overnight depend on those who stay up overnight to stand guard or occasionally tend to the fire.
- rottencupcakes 3y agoMy entire life, I've been a night owl. I'm prone to depression in the mornings. I prefer to avoid doing anthing in the AM. In the evenings, I can have a lot of get-up-and-go energy and can be positive about a lot of ideas, but when I wake up the next morning, my entire mood has shifted and I'm often quite negative. Staying up all night (or only getting a few hours of sleep) avoids that mental reset that causes my entire mood to shift. I wonder if this is related to the phenomenon studied.
