In reply to Sleeping too much effects depression?, posted by adamie on October 27, 2001, at 19:23:55
Personally, I have found that--at times--getting too little sleep improves my mood in the SHORT run, and getting too much sleep makes it worse. However, over time, I am less irritable if I am getting sufficient sleep.
Last week, I was very sleep deprived and felt great, and then this weekend "caught up" a lot and then felt extremely unmotivated, kind of down, etc. But as I said, I think this is a short-term effect for me. If I were to go on not getting enough sleep, I'd be pretty miserable. Also, there is a difference, for me, between what is sufficient sleep and what is too much.
