Abstract
A first episode of mania is described in a previously healthy man who was partially sleep deprived for four nights. The sleep deprivation preceded the psychosis. During the psychotic episode he believed that he was the Messiah. This case is discussed in the light of reports exploring the relationship between psychosis and sleep deprivation.
