4. Difficulty Sleeping
Having one or two nights of restlessness is not a cause for alarm in most cases. However, if you are having persistent difficulties sleeping or even suffering from insomnia, it could be a sign that you are depressed. Many people who suffer from depression have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep during the night. This is despite the fact that they often feel exhausted.
In other cases, a person suffering from depression may sleep too much. They may find it hard to wake up each morning and cannot wait to crawl into bed at night. They often will take naps throughout the day whenever possible. If you are struggling to sleep at night or if you find that you are sleeping more than you used to, it could be a sign of depression. It is important to track your sleep habits and note any changes that take place. It is important to find the underlying causes of any sleep difficulties that you may be experiencing.
