> I think you may have misunderstood my post here - I was referring to staying awake for *only* 24 hours, ONE day, not 4-5 days. I know how important sleep is for your health, etc. I wasn't suggesting "severe sleep deprivation" at all! My sister had heard somewhere that keeping a depressed person up for just 24 hours could re-set their body clock so they would begin sleeping at night and being able to be awake and functional during the day.

Depriving yourself of sleep like that isnt going to make depression go away. If anything it will make it worse. The one day sleep deprivation thing has been discounted as a method to fight depression.
The best way to fight depression is to take drugs, exercise a lot, sleep normaly, avoid booze.
