I can't prove it, but even dumb teenage me felt instinctively that extreme sleep deprivation was likely to take a long and possibly permanent toll. I don't think anything that extreme can really be practiced in moderation, because it's more like taking heroin than eating too many cakes, etc., i.e., it's not a 'granular' indulgence.

I would hesitate to call this a hot take on my part, since I am guessing that in that period of my life, I probably stayed up for two days on several hundred occasions, if not more.

For anyone else suffering from severe depression, this is an easy answer, maybe; but there are better easy answers than this. Cannabis (I am not a partaker since I was an student) would be better than this.

Really, do anything but this. It's not 'free'; nothing that works is free.
