NKP -
Upon further consideration, your fatigue and amotivation is more likely to be a presentation of atypical depression rather than melancholic / endogenous depression.
If you have been chronically sleep-deprived, you might experience a worsening of your depression for a few days as your brain adjusts to a new circadian rhythm. This is especially true if you retard your rhythm - going to bed later and waking up later. Advancing one's' rhythm sometimes has a temporary improvement in depression. Total or partial sleep deprivation is effectively advancing the circadian rhythm. This is produces an anti-depressant effect.
1. Advance circadian rhythm = temporary anti-depressant effect.
2. Delay circadian rhythm = temporary pro-depressant effect.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
