[Ja sa bong]

Sleep is vital in one's life. God who carried out all the work of creation and rested on the sabbath day isn't foolish or stupid. Night is meant to be time for sleeping. If you work at night, the morning/day time will be used to sleep.

Do you think lack of sleeping well can cause depression?

Of Course it can!

Your body has to recover and sleep is how it recovers.

If you're not getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep a day, you're doing it wrong.

Sleep deprivation starts to attack your mind and brain functions. That will bring you stress, anxiety, and trauma.

There is a type of insomnia that people will get where they cannot go back to sleep. They'll basically become senile in a short amount of time, hallucinate, and die. It's always fatal but it's rare.

Sleep is as important as drinking water.

Sleep deprivation create a serious detrimental effects on human mental health. Scientists have proven that extended periods loss of sleep can result in depression, anxiety and the risk of suicidal tendencies.

I totally support the notion that sufficient sleep serves as an essential element for our overall wellness. Whenever we are deprived of sleep, it creates depression because our brain become disturbed. Insufficient sleep makes people more likely to experience anxiety.

There is a two-way relationship between sleep and depression. Lack of sleep can cause depression; depression can also lead to inability to sleep. Without adequate sleep, one will look stressed, stress can induce depression.

Lack of sleep can cause a lot of issues. Right after the second world war, a mad scientist carried an experiment in Russia where 6 people were given drugs that took away their sleep. Lack of sleep turned these people into monster and they killed each other

Sleep holds great significance in our lives. You made an excellent choice to introduce the biblical passage regarding rest because it shows how our bodies and minds need regeneration during down time.

If you don't have a proper sleep for an extended period, it can cause depression, anxiety and many mental health complications will set in. Sleep deprivation harms our emotional control and it in turn increases tension levels.

We all need sufficient sleep for mental well-being. I know from personal experience that insufficient sleep create the feeling of hopelessness and it can make things much worse.

Adults need between seven to nine hours of sleep, however statistics show that most people fail to follow this recommendation

The same thing happened to my brother. He was depressed for a long time before getting better. It's why I do everything possible to ensure I sleep well and as it when due. If my sleep time come, I will stop everything and go to bed.

If you're not getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep a day, you're doing it wrong.

I get 6-8 hours a day, but it's broken up into 2-3 and 4-5 so that I can work stateside time too.

I've been doing it for years, and no issues (yet). However, I know it's recommended to be 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

If you've made sleeping this way a habit, it means your body have been used to the sleeping pattern. It will be difficult to adjust easily without pills or other measures to change the habit if there's a health concerns needed for you to change the sleeping pattern.

 

[Harsh World]

if there's a health concerns needed for you to change the sleeping pattern.

I'll consider it if any health issues arise. But for now, I'm living life on my terms.

 

[Ashake]

Your body has to recover and sleep is how it recovers.

Our bodies recuperate while we sleep and that translates to better mental conditions. Regular sleep and waking hours would synchronize our sleep cycle and aid better mental health. I'm really struggling to have decent sleep and it's affecting me lot. Is there a way to have a peaceful sleep?

 

[Shortie]

Lack of sleep can very much cause depression. I remember many years ago now, I want to say around 17 years ago now, I was going through a period where I was struggling to sleep and would sometimes be awake for long hours, this drastically affected my mood and made me feel down and depressed. Luckily, I was able to get help, but sleep does help the body heal which can also prevent depression in some cases.

 

[Jason]

I doubt if I sleep more than 4 hours a day, but it's enough, but if I can't get that, then it's very painful.

Note: I also work the graveyard shift, so sleep is a big priority in the daytime because of that.

 

[Demon_skeith]

Lack of sleep will cause a lot of issues for people, best to get at least 7 hours if nothing else. Though I have gone on lack of sleep and it sucks.

I've never been so happy any time that I lack sleep. It is either I try to sleep at noon or sleep early the next day. Each time that I work harder than I am supposed to do, I will be feeling so down and depressed.

A life without good sleep would constantly feel like there's a fog over someone's eyes all the time. Having clarity in what the person is doing is going to be hard most times.

Lack of sleep can have a huge impact on our mental health and a lot of people are suffering from lack of sleep. This may be due to the hustling and bustling and the economic stress we all face among other things. The feeling of hopelessness can also be a symptom of sleep deprivation and can definitely lead to depression.
