I would love to talk to others who have issues with depression and sleeping to much. It seems much more common to have insomnia, but this issue is really causing a negative effect on my life and it would be great to talk to people struggling with this also

ok you can talk to me
i deal with depression and sleep way too much... u hit a goldmine

I am not currently having over sleeping problems but it has been one of my biggest problems during times of severe anxiety and depression. I think I would sleep so much because the only time I felt at peace was in my sleep. Nothing could bother me, and my mind couldn't take me away if I was sleeping. The more anxious I got the more I wanted and did sleep. I was so bad for a few weeks I would find ways to sleep at work. So your not alone. With medication and now the help of this program I have over come my problem. Now I have trouble sleeping to much. My body wakes itself up after a few hours of sleep.

Thanks so much for replying! Maybe we could plan to talk some time on the live chat? Are you ever on there?

Well, i just sleep and make myself sleep to don't feel anything so you are not alone. I just got the program and I am in my first week, but I am sure we are going to laugh about this in a couple of months!!!

i have a horrible time sleeping----need xanax to sleep----then I wake up often tired all day. I suffer from anxiety--but mostly depression---and I love being asleep cause im at pease---I wish I could sleep more often.

hello everyone, I have a problem with oversleeping. the majority of my day is spent in bed trying to hide from my anxiety and stress. Does anyone else have a problem with oversleeping ?

Thanks to everyone who responded. It is good to know that I am not alone. I think that I was in denial about why I was oversleeping, but after hearing your comments I think I am experiencing the same thing. I feel so good when I am sleeping and so it makes me want to do it as much as possible. I know I shouldn't, but it is like I'm addicted! Have you all found anything that helps....obviously I'm hoping that going through the program will.

Sarita, have you had any luck with anything you have tried?
