I also agree with you on the sleep depravation aspect. I feel less anxious, more clear-headed when extremely tired or at least when having not slept a night. I am more comfortable around people. I have independently noticed this occuring a number of times and I've thought "If only I never had to sleep". Of course that is not an option, but there are some interesting effects that occur.
