Talk:Wake therapy

I have added greater detail and eliminated sentences that were oversimplifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdwilli (talk • contribs) 21:20, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Advice
To start off, the article here has a good starting point.

There however needs to be a lot more information. By adding more information this article can become much clearer.

My other suggestion is the sentence: "Combining this with bright light therapy make the beneficial effects last longer than one day." needs to be rephrased. Something such as: "Bright light therapy along with wake therapy can allow for beneficial effects that may last longer than one day."

Merge with Sleep Deprivation Therapy
This is the same subject worded differently Hploter (talk) 13:46, 15 March 2023 (UTC)


 * As the merge has now been agreed, it would be great if you could help to integrate the content into this page.
 * I would normally do it myself, but I have insufficient experience with medical articles and their strict standards of sourcing etc. to feel comfortable with this. Felix QW (talk) 18:15, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Formal request has been received to merge: Sleep Deprivation Therapy into Wake therapy ( into Sleep Deprivation Therapy; see below) dated: March 2023. Proposer's Rationale: ''This is the same subject worded differently. ''. Discuss here. GenQuest "scribble" 13:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment Obvious merge, but why should the merged article take the title Sleep Deprivation Therapy rather than Wake therapy? : 3 F4U (they/it) 13:53, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * "Wake therapy" does have many more Google results, (3,700,000) compared to "sleep deprivation's" 17,600. Joyous! Noise! 14:36, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Good point, more meaningful I think are the ones of G scholar (931 k vs 262 k) but sleep deprivation is more characteristic of the thing, because we are naturally awake 2/3 of the time, and quantity does not mean quality. Otherwise "prolonged" or "extended" "wake therapy" would do it but I think it is adds convolution. Hploter (talk) 17:52, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Both articles are roughly the same size, Wake therapy (that has way more search-hits) is 14 years older than the Deprivation article. This merge should be Sleep Deprivation therapy → Wake therapy, not the other way around. Moving discussion.  GenQuest  "scribble" 19:34, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Seems obvious. —DIYeditor (talk) 07:30, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
