Interesting thread linkadge.
I agree sleep deprivation can for a very short time be a good antidepressant. The trouble is, as one gets older, staying up all night really does leave one feeling terribly washed out and tired the next day (in my youth it wasn't such a problem) so other than for reminding yourself what it feels like to be relatively normal, its a wasted exercise.
Depression, CFS and a whole host of other disorders seem to share the symptom of non restorative sleep. Thats no coincidence IMO.
