Out of 102 patients suffering from endogenous depression, it was possible to ascertain the duration of episodes in the case of 60 patients. Intraindividual comparisons among patients with unipolar depression show that sleep deprivation therapy causes a tendency to shorter depressive episodes. This tendency is related to the time of application of sleep deprivation: the sooner sleep deprivation is applied within an episode, the better the effect. Younger patients react better than older ones.
在102例内因性抑郁症患者中，能够确定其中60例患者发作期的时长。对单相抑郁症患者进行个体内比较显示，睡眠剥夺疗法会使抑郁发作期有缩短的趋势。这种趋势与睡眠剥夺的实施时间有关：在发作期内越早进行睡眠剥夺，效果越好。年轻患者比年长患者的反应更好。
