POLL - Depression: How many hours do you sleep?

[MerrySkeleton]

When I'm not working I manage to maintain a pretty consistent 4am to noon sleep schedule that actually doesn't bother me too much. It's when I'm working that things get thrown out of whack. I'll still go to sleep at like 4 or so, but then I'll wake up at 7:45 for work. I can force myself to stay awake and function like this until about Wednesday or so, when I'll just start sleeping as soon as I get home. Usually I'll wake up sometime in the middle of the night and then I'll be stuck on some weird nocturnal schedule for the next two days. On weekends I'm not doing anything anyway so I generally just do my best to figure it all out then before I start again on Monday.

I've always suffered from insomnia but as my depression and anxiety get worse so do my sleep habits and insomnia.

My meds make me super tired too.

That's not healthy. Every day a person doesn't get at least 7 hours of sleep, they increase their chances of developing Alzheimer's

Ever since my dr nearly killed me with meds, I barely sleep...I'm just screwed

Nearly killed?? What did they put you on?? Sadly, I'm not surprised. Considering I've been on multiple psych meds since I was 11, I'm surprised I'm still alive.

The first two years I only could get two hours of sleep a night and I'm not kidding. My ex demanded I keep taking shitty meds when we were on vacation and I nearly died two weeks later. Ruined my life

Depends on the night. Sometimes not at all...sometimes I actually get to sleep like a normal person.

I know you probably don't trust doctors now, but have you thought of getting sleeping meds?

I mean, being well rested feels amazinggg. Don't know bout you, but when I had insomnia, I constantly felt nauseous, my eyes hurt, and I was super moody...inside anyway. I had to be peppy at work and college.

My dr combined two old meds, one was Sinequan or doxepin. Found out one of hitlers drs worked for the company that invented it!!! My dr said he almost killed me because he was stressed out and I should've killed him

"Sorry I almost killed you. I was stressed out that day." As if you're gonna be like, "Oh ok! No prob!"

Crazy about the Hitler's doctor bit.
