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.
