In reply to Sleep apnea strongly linked to depression, posted by LostBoyinNCBecksDark on November 18, 2008, at 1:36:17

I think that's really interesting. I snore occasionally, though it's usually position-dependent, i.e. when I'm on my back vs. my preferred side-sleeping position. Recently, I realized that if I take 5 mg Ambien at night, whether I'm having trouble with sleep or not, I feel much, much more upbeat and less depressed the next day. I assumed that Ambien might exacerbate any sleep apnea type behavior I had, though I don't know if that holds up empirically. I also assumed it could make me feel more sluggish in the a.m., not more alert upon awakening.

What do you think about how Ambien improves my mood? I suppose at the basic level, if I'm sleeping more soundly overall, that's got to help. Any more enlightened ideas?
Thanks,

gg
