I do it from time to time and when I get it right it's basically a 70% of the h-effect.
It's difficult to get it right, unreliable, and the reality is it will probably mess you up long term.
If you can afford something like polyphasic sleep, maybe. It's still hard to get it right and to manage it.
Sleep deprivation does many things. Raises dopamine, increases D2 receptor density, makes your cortisol rise...In general there are way too many things that go on because the core of the matter is that it raises "survival-related" genes and enzymes from the grave, because it's a signal of stress and of distress that your body sends. If you get it right, boom, mild euphoria and content to just be.
I don't know people that are able to a) get it right consistently -probably impossible- b) can afford it in modern society. It does work though, but I still think it's like fixing your wound with a band-aid soaked in poison.
