SOME OF US SLEEP TO ESCAPE PAIN & SADNESS.

It’s heartbreaking to know that some people don’t sleep to rest, but rather to escape pain and sadness. It’s important to acknowledge these feelings and the situations that caused them. Give yourself time to deal with any problems and feel better. If needed, seek help from friends, family, or a professional. It’s okay to feel sad, and it’s important to express these emotions in a healthy way. Writing your thoughts in a diary, for example, may help you find a new perspective. However, if you’re having problems sleeping, it might be a sign of a mental health issue. Poor sleep can trigger mania, psychosis, or paranoia, or make existing symptoms worse. Depression is a real illness that requires treatment and support. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone and that there are resources available to help you, such as therapists, support groups, and hotlines. It’s crucial to avoid saying things that may be hurtful to someone who is depressed, such as “just snap out of it” or “it’s all in your head.” Depression is a real illness that requires treatment and support. Remember, “people don’t die from suicide, they die from sadness.”

Sleep is essential for our well-being, but it’s not just about the duration of sleep. Sleep quality is another critical factor in sufficient rest. Persistent sleep deprivation affects daytime performance and can hinder decision-making, memory, focus, and creativity. With time, insufficient sleep can wreak havoc on diverse aspects of health, including metabolism, the cardiovascular system, the immune system, hormone production, and mental health. Even if it seems like you’re getting accustomed to sleeping too little, in reality, more serious health problems may be accumulating because of your body’s inability to get the rest it needs. Instead of tossing and turning in bed, it can be better to get up and do something.

Depression isn’t always obvious, and people may not know they’re depressed. It’s normal to enjoy sleeping in or spending time in bed, but if it has become difficult to find the motivation to get out of bed or get ready in the morning, this could be a sign of depression. Depression can make us feel fatigued and physically drained to the point where even small tasks, like getting up in the morning or showering, can feel exhausting or difficult to do. The physical and mental exhaustion that comes with depression can also affect our sleeping habits. Changes in sleep can show up in a number of ways. Sometimes this means sleeping throughout the day, using sleep as a way to pass the time or preferring sleep to other daily activities. Other times, sleep changes can create bouts of insomnia, which can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep at night. Missing out on quality, restful sleep can increase our anxiety levels and intensify feelings of distress.

It’s important to remember that depression attacks a person’s thoughts and feelings, rather than liver or lungs. Depression can cause a person to think they hate themselves or are unhappy in their relationships. It can cause someone to believe everyone would be better off without them, or even that others would be better off dead. It can cause people to feel sad, angry, guilty, numb, and more. Faking happiness can even increase depression, and having this secret is isolating. Depression is a real illness that requires treatment and support. It’s important to avoid saying things that may be hurtful to someone who is depressed, such as “just snap out of it” or “it’s all in your head.” There are resources available to help you, such as therapists, support groups, counselors and hotlines.
