Deppression And Its Effects On Sleep Posted: 08-15-06 11:13am
For the past 3 months no matter how long I
sleep at night, be it 6 hours or 9 hours,
I sleep through my alarm. Tried changing
my alarm but I am literally shutting
everything out. When I wake up, I feel
the most severe depression and sleepiness
I have ever felt and this goes on for
about 3 hours. About 10 minutes after I
get out of bet I get headaches and my
whole body hurts just like a hangover.
And all day long I am mentaly fatigued. I
was diagnosed with depression at 8 and was
given prozac for it for 4 years but since
then I have not taken medication for it
because it is usually caused by low blood
sugar or boredom. I havn't had a long
span depression(more than 2 or 3 days)
since I was 12. Anyway what I am trying
to figure out is, is this a sleep problem
or is this just depression.
Thanks in advance.
In a side note if I ever sleep past 9
hours at night or even 10 minutes during
the day I wake up with a really bad
hangover. No depression or sleepiness
though.

Some times due to oversleeping headache
occurs. As our biological clock
disturbed due to it. But it doesn't
cause that much severe headache.
This can be due to
it is one of the major cause of sleep
problems. Try to remove it and wake up
on time.
