I wish the article had given more information about the intervention. Very interesting how much the gut mediates.

This one names the interventions - melatonin, lipoic acid and NAD:

It was known that severe sleep deprivation kills (see Familial Fatal Insomnia), what was not known was how it kills. I hope the results can help people mitigate the effects of severe insomnia.
