If you have depression, chances is you have some kind of sleep disturbance. Can be too much sleep, too little sleep, waking up all the time, getting sleep but just shallow sleep and REM sleep and no deep sleep, bad dreams, insomnia, hypnagogic states, a shortening of sleep pattern, a prolonging of sleep pattern, unstable sleep pattern, or delayed onset of sleep with wanting to wake up later also.

I'm very interested in the subject from the patient's point of view.

Sleep is indeed a mystery when it comes to depression. Sometimes depression has been called reversable dementia (don't be scared that it's been called that it is not as bad as it sounds), but in dementia, sleep is almost ALWAYS messed up, sometimes sleep issues are the first symptom. And similar, those who are bipolar can sometimes see a change in sleep before they see a change in mood!

Worth looking into, right?
