I feel like this once in a while, but mostly I welcome sleep! It is the only time when my mind shuts down, and the voices in my head quite down and I can just hide away, under my covers, safe and warm. My kitties curl up with me and I feel loved. In order to get to sleep though I need to take some meds to help quite down my mind and anxiety. Of course it's all good until I have a nightmare, but those have slowed up since I changed my meds. 
Every once in a while though, usually if I am feeling more in tune with my Spiritual self, I will sit quietly and just enjoy being awake and appreciating the night. 
Sleep issues can be a big part of depression. Some people will sleep to much to escape, some people will sleep to little, and others won't be able to turn their minds off and be able to let go of their heavy thoughts. Some people have bad nightmares too so they don't want to sleep, even when they know they need it.
