> I also respond strongly to sleep deprivation. I would do it more often but I always end up sick the following day. Do you have the kind of depression that is much worse in the morning and things get better as the day progresses? I think they call that diurnal variation, no? I wonder why sleep deprivation works so well. The only theory I've heard about this is that it is related somehow to cortisol levels. Anyone know any more about it?

The first thing that popped into my head is that their is a temporary upset in the dopaminergic/acetylcholinergic balance.
