I don't think I ever got mania or hypomania from sleep deprivation. Usually, on the SD day, I feel physically exhausted and overall yukky, but...
something changes in brain metabolism. For me, the horrible chronic lingering rumination and mental pain all of a sudden switches off. All of a sudden I become more tuned into the environment and 'outside of my head'.
No, it can't be used everyday, but I think it is a useful tool for those who do not respond fully to antidepressants.
Once a week usually helps me out.
