Some possible ideas: An article attempts to understand just this issue. I expect some part might, indeed, be from creating a break from routine, a sort of natural "shock" treatment. Also, the exposure to more activities may play a role. Obviously there is a health limit to the use if this technique to do not do it more than rarely and slowly repay. http://www.rjews.net/v_rotenberg/sleep_deprivation.html#.ugosi9lvufu.

Depression: It is possible that fatigue lessens your symptoms temporarily but this is not a sustaneable way of treating anxiety and depression. Try using the anti anxiety app and consult a mental health professional if your symptoms do not lift. Best wishes.
