Staying awake

@reliablePrune8896 welcome! I understand your struggle. At the moment I have succumbed to it during my current relapse - sometimes it feels like we should be able to undertake a proper hibernation to allow body and brain to rest from overwhelming activity all around... However sometimes during depression the sleep is not restful at all and, if like me, it may include various awakenings during the night and not much deep sleep so the body would not really have received its restorative rest anyway.

I'm not sure in which part of the hemisphere you live but do keep in mind also that if you are in winter it is normal for body to want some extra rest. Sometimes it can also be a lack of minerals - such as Magnesium .

Thank you for writing back to me.
