It works great!! But you don't have to do it every night. The effects work a few days for me, or can snap me right out of a depressive phase of my cycle entirely.

Yet sometimes, sleep deprivation has the opposite effect on me. So it's not the most reliable depression treatment.

sleep deprivation has many quite negative health effects.
