I thought you were suggesting that this person discontinue their medication in favor of diet and exercise in order to treat a severe affective disorder. I didn't realize you were speaking only of sleep. Certainly, making dietary changes and initiating exercise can help improve sleep hygeine. However, severe depression can preclude performing regular exercise routines. It might even prevent one from eating healthy as this often takes too much energy to prepare meals. Each case is, of course, unique.
