my sense of doom goes away almost entirely when I get a single night of zero sleep or very little sleep, hmm
it's like hypomania, but in molasses

Et tu, selene?
One of the main reasons I used to drink too much is the lack of sleep would trigger low-grade euphoria, sometimes for weeks.

unsure!
but temporary sleep deprivation has actually been looked at as a treatment for bipolar and depression
(note that by day 2 I'm a mess; also this doesn't work if it was merely "awful sleep" like tossing/turning all night for a cumulative 3 hours of disconnected sleep)

mine is like:
0 sleep: good!
1-2 hours: bad
3 hours of unbroken sleep: good
4-5 hours of unbroken sleep: groggy morning but pretty great mood
5-6 hours: bad
6.5-7.5 hours: alright, but lowkey "fuck off" mood
any severely broken sleep less than 8 hours: I Want To Die

This and/or caffeine and anxiety is how the 40+ hour work week sustains itself.
Where "sustains itself" means "works fine for about a year and a half at a time"

Yes, however I meant the franchise, not the victims.
