I guess it's worth a shot, but it doesn't do much for me. I also feel much better during the night-time (peak @ 12:00-3:00am). I've tried quite a few things, but I have never been able to normalise my sleep/mood rythym. Is it possible that you are bipolar and are experiencing ultra-ultra-rapid (ultradian) cycling?
I believe that during sleep deprivation therapy, patients are kept up until two hours before their usual waking time, and sleep until then. This is continued for 3-4 nights. The effect can be dramatic, but it rarely lasts longer than a few days. If you decide to do this, it would be best to do it under (professional) supervision. (Also, don't drive/etc. afterwards.)
