Why is so hard to stay awake, and why is so hard to go bed and sleep? i dont know what is happening, i know it is the depression, but when i go bed i cant sleep and when finally i sleep then i have weird nightmares, any sound awake me and during the day i dont have any strenght to think or to do anything, i even dont have the strenght to feel worried or stressed, i have to do a research paper but i cant think and i dont care at all, this is not me, all i want is sleep and sleep and sleep, some advice would be very appreciated, this is affecting me too much...

The best thing to do is get on the phone with your doc/care provider and make an appt to see them. Explain how serious this issue is. Do you see someone for the depression? Nightmares are exhausting! I've noticed that when I wake up from my dreams, I immediately need to take a deep breath. I don't think I am breathing right in my sleep cause of the nightmares. I am afraid (in the dream) so my body is holding its breath like I do in real life.

ooh thanks, at the moment i cannot have a doctor, because of my situation, i am trying to use other solutions, i was investigating and i read about a change in the diet, i suffer hyperinsulinism, so it affect also my mood; what scientists and doctor says is to eat less sugar and carbohidrates and more proteins and vegetables, also they talk about not drinking coffee or any stimulating drink. I have now 3 days doing that, i mantained the quantity of calories i have to eat during the day and i am feeling a litle less bad, i am less sleepy than yesterday but still too sleepy to produce anything intellectually, hehe, i am dying for a cup of coffee, but i have to control myself. I am trying also a relaxing activity such stretching the muscles and breathing deeply before going bed and it is not a deaming pill but i am awakening less at night. But again, i am not eating very much carbohidrates before going bed, more proteins, for example, 1 cracker with 1 hard egg+ milk or 1 piece of jam or cheese.
I hope this can help you too. I have to say, when i get the opportunity to get a doctor i will do so inmediately, because i really need some help

There are a number of vitamins you can experiment with. First try melatonin an hour before bed. Then try vitamin B5, magnesium citrate, GABA, or maca.
