Dr. Huberman, You mentioned that sleep deprivation can temporarily alleviate depression and is under research as a treatment. I have ADHD and have noticed, consistently and under a variety of conditions, that a night of skipping sleep makes my ADHD virtually go away, typically starting around the same time (~3am). The effects are as strong as a ton of coffee or a pill of Aderall, but effects dissipate after I go to sleep the following night. I do feel the tiredness and other typical symptoms of sleep deprivation, but the temporary boost to my productivity outweighs them all. Could this be due to the default mode network being down-regulated due to the sleep deprivation? Does this point at other underlying conditions? (e.g. depression/anxiety rather than adhd)? Curious if other people have had this experience as well. Thanks!
