Health expert Myrna Weissman of Columbia University recently mentioned that those who have sleep problems should be aware of depression. Sleep disorders alone are not just insomnia or lack of sleep. Some other problems such as difficulty sleeping at night or wake up with conditions with no fresh and bad feelings in the morning should also be wary of.
In a study conducted at Harvard Medical School, it was mentioned that 65 to 90 percent of people with severe depression experience sleep disorders. In fact, sleeping with snoring problems or sleep apnea can also be associated with this psychiatric disorder.
According to Myrna, people with depression tend to use the sleep as a way to escape from the fatigue, anxiety, stress, and the condition that he was experiencing a collapsed. Not only sleeping at night, napping is also often used to be a breakout of this stress. Health experts in psychology from Harvard Medical School named dr. Heleh Farrell mentioned that those who have psychiatric problems also tend to do depression naps, nap habits with a long time.
If the nap is usually done to restore energy and cognitive function of the body, nap depressed people who actually become a kind of body defense system of various negative emotions that are sweeping. Normal naps are usually not too long to do and when they wake up, those who do it will feel a fresh and more vibrant sensation. This type of nap is referred to as power nap. Conversely, if the nap we do is very long and when we wake up tend to be more lethargic and lazy to do various things, this could be a sign of the body being depressed.
