I have been sleeping very poorly since I have been depressed. But I did manage to get some Melatonin and it seems to be helping. I still wake up in the middle of the night but then I am able to go back to sleep until the morning.

I dont sleep. I take melatonin, but it doesnt help. When I finally do fall asleep, I sleep until someone wakes me up. I just want a peaceful nights sleep.

I know I know should be sleeping to give my body and mind the rest it needs at night, but I cant help stayin awake sometimes especially if something is bothering me a lot. I have tried to figure out why I do this to myself. The only conclusion I can come up with is that the night gives me solace in all its quietness and peace.

So thats the romanticisation of staying awake from depression 🙄🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

I have had depression for 2 years. I also hace really bad Insomnia, I know because my insomnia problems started before my depression. I go to bed at 8 but I actually sleep at 3 - 4 am. Then I wake up at 6. This has been happening for a year and I am really tired.... I cant concentrate at all...It's really hard...

Currently being affected by having trouble falling asleep, then waking up feels like I haven't slept at all. Like I didn't go into a deep sleep, like I was awake all night. Good thing with my current career, it makes me feel energized as I really love my job. The moment I get to work, I feel more awake. I think I'm still kind of running on adrenaline since I changed to this career last June. I'm still as excited as my first day of work. This means I should feel mentally and physically tired after work today, so I hope I can sleep tonight. Tuesday will be a long day for me. I have a specialist appointment before work (meaning I need to get to work 15 mins earlier, I work in a hospital), then I'm getting a haircut at 4pm after work. So probably won't be home until 5pm. Which means I might just have dinner before I go home. Might be too tired to cook~

I find it hard to fall asleep and when I do, I find it even harder to wake up and get out of my bed. I'm always tired, too. I would fall asleep at 3-4 AM and then wake up at 2 PM and I'll still feel tired and sleepy. Sometimes I would fall asleep around dinner time and wake up at 10-11 midnight and my cycle would go on and on...

Are you afraid of the fact that when you buy products on the Internet anyone can see your personal data? As ironic as it may sound, I suffer from an anxiety disorder and these things scare me a lot, and I have to buy drugs online. So privacy is very important to me. The only website I trust is https://www.worldpharm365.com. I hope you don't face this problem, but if you do, I'm glad I could help someone.

I tend to go to sleep earlier and take longer to fall asleep, but since I've had depression I always have dreams once or twice a night.
