Dont depressed people sleep like 12 hours ?
- fpoling 9y agoA person I knew with depression complained that it was just impossible to sleep at the time when one needs most and then get 12 hours of a bad sleep when one better do other things.
- ddorian43 9y agoSeems like bipolar ? Sometimes you don't sleep (manic) and sometimes you oversleep (depress). Maybe he was misdiagnosed (often are). But I'm probably talking too much from 1 sentence.
- hmschreck 9y agoDepression makes sleep more or less impossible sometimes, and more or less unavoidable others. My SO has severe depression, and no symptoms of bipolar (which I would recognize due to my own diagnosis), but experiences times where he's dead to the world for 12-14 hours, but then also experiences times where he will lay awake for hours trying to fall asleep.
- spraak 9y agoNot all. Depression is highly different across people. Some depressed people don't sleep much at all (insomnia) Also, from what I've read, that 12 hours of sleep isn't restful to a depressed person.
