Lack of sleep is a good short term treatment for depression. Lack of sleep can also trigger mania in those with a bipolar diagnosis. We also know that those with depression sleep more. So, I wouldn’t be so sure that it’s because you feel guilty about sleeping in. It probably has a deeper basis in biology.

And there is a particular form of depression called diurnal mood variation where people are depressed in the morning then fine later in the day. So I agree it's likely a biological thing first and foremost. When people are depressed they tend to find negative things to focus on, perhaps in an attempt to explain the pain, so I'd think the guilt over oversleeping is more of a side effect.
