I've read that sleep deprivation has an anti-depressant effect. I think it's one of the theories on bipolar disorder too. When a bipolar is in the depressive stage, they might stay up all night, then get into the manic or hypomanic stage.
I also experience increased depression when I sleep for longer than 9 hours (in my case) and increased tiredness as well.
