AFAIK sleep deprivation is discussed as a short term treatment of depression. I don't have any exclusive papers on hand (I'm not an expert), but if you are interested, please do your own research.

I’ve heard Dr. John McDougall say this too — he recommends less sleep than most doctors for this reason.

Where is this discussed? I'm curious.
