More sleep time is critical for preventing depression period. It is not rocket science. Everyone can tell from their own person experience.
Now it could be sometime when one is depressed one can't sleep. However, sleep pretty much helps every many things.
- deepstack 6y agothis is the reason why I think tech company ought to let employee sleep whenever they want as long as they want at work (not at meetings of course, although that is tempting sometimes), as long as they get their work done on time.
- duopixel 6y agoWhen I work for myself, I nap at the slightest sensation of drowsiness. I’m not productive nor efficient while sleepy. Yet I’ve wasted so many hours in mindless stupor for my employers (especially after lunch) because napping on the clock is taboo.
- behnamoh 6y agoI can't tell you how many times I wished there were "sleep rooms" in our university to wind down in afternoons and get refreshed for more study and work. They should at least offer them for PhD students who spend most their life in office.
- bserge 6y agoBut not too much. I used to sleep 10-12 hours during depressive episodes when I had nothing important to do, it just makes things worse. Over 7-8 hours of sleep just makes me tired and sleepy the whole day (paradoxical, yeah). Forcing a limit helps a lot more.
- brianmcc 6y agoThe article seems to agree with you - it presents optimal sleep as important, 7 - 9 hours.
- the_only_law 6y agoYeah I either sleep 0-5 hours or 12+, rarely in between. Interestingly I usually feel better with the former (for a few hours before the microsleeps hit, at least). When i sleep late, I normally wake up with a bad headache, sore, really bad brain fog, etc.
