Depression and sleep

Does depression cause lack of sleep AND sleeping too much? Like on night you dont get any sleep but the next night and into the day you sleep too much. All the while being accompanied by he feeling of not loving or doing the things you usually do. Doing simple things like walking or talking to a friend exhausts you yet no matter how tired you are you sometimes still cant sleep? Or having the feeling of being numb or feeling too much and have thoughts like self harming to help?

Is that a thing? I know depression can cause too much sleep or too little.. but can it do both?

@Mads805 Yes. I stay up until 3-4am because I can't sleep, yet I sleep all day because I have no desire to get up. I'm constantly tired and lethargic even though I spent most of my day in bed
