A friend and I were talking about this recently.
Have they done any studies with the idea that it is the shock to the brain, the reset sort of, that is beneficial?
That would also explain why medications can seem to work for brief periods of time. It's not so much that it poops out but that it was the change that was effective, the jolt to the brain, rather than the medication supplying some needed chemical?
I shamefacedly admit that I sometimes use sleep deprivation to put myself into a state of high productivity when I need to meet a deadline.
