There’s a fine line between depression and sleep deprivation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Karilynn Olson at Thrive Global and Risa Kerslake at Healthline<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stats on sleep and depression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s pretty obvious when we\u2019re sleep-deprived. The fogginess and fatigue in\nour body and mind are unmistakable. But how can we tell if we\u2019re just really\ntired, or if we\u2019re actually experiencing depression?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted\nSource, 1 in 3 adults in the United States don\u2019t get enough sleep. The\nCDCTrusted Source further reports that people who get less than seven hours of\nsleep a night are more likely to report 10 common chronic health conditions \u2014\nincluding depression \u2014 than people who get more than seven hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statistics for depression are equally as sobering. As many as 300\nmillion people around the world receive diagnoses with depression, according to\nthe World Health OrganizationTrusted Source. About 20 million people who have\ndepression also have trouble with restless sleep and insomnia, reports the\nNational Sleep Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who are exhausted from lack of sleep can experience symptoms similar\nto depression, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
impaired concentration<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
loss of energy and motivation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
irritability<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, people who have depression can have trouble with sleep, whether\nit\u2019s falling asleep, staying asleep, or finding themselves sleeping too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how can you tell the difference? Which issue came first? While it can\nbe confusing, it turns out there are several ways to tell the two apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to read your body\u2019s signals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSad african american girl looking out of the window on rainy weather<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Healthline spoke with Dr. Alex Dimitriu, a psychiatrist, sleep expert, and\nfounder of Menlo Park Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine Center on understanding the\ndifferences between sleep deprivation and depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSleep is the tip of the iceberg for our mind\u2019s state,\u201d Dimitriu explains.\n\u201cPeople find it much easier to notice sleep is off because it is objective,\nthus it truly opens the door to investigating if something else is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main symptom of sleep deprivation, which seems obvious, is daytime sleepiness.\nOther signs and symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
increased appetite<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
fatigue<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
feeling \u201cfuzzy\u201d or forgetful<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
decreased libido<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
mood changes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, signs and symptoms of depression include:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
insomnia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
decreased concentration<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
lack of energy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
feelings of hopelessness, guilt, or both<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
thoughts of suicide<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The line between depression and sleep deprivation can blur, depending on\nwhat you\u2019re feeling and experiencing. Dimitriu often poses a question to the\nclients he works with that can get to the root of the problem, and it has to do\nwith a person\u2019s motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI often ask my patients if they have the desire to do things but lack the\nenergy, or if they simply are not interested in the first place,\u201d Dimitriu\nsays. \u201cDepressed people are more likely to say they simply don\u2019t care to do\nvarious activities, even pleasurable ones. Tired people often still have an\ninterest to do things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, therefore, Dimitriu says, depression is more likely than not to have an\neffect on someone\u2019s motivation \u2014 getting to the gym or dinner with friends, for\nexample \u2014 and being sleep-deprived is more likely to affect your energy level\nor your physical ability to do the thing in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why you should track the timing of symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Dimitriu says another way to tell the difference between depression and\nsleep deprivation is the timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depression is characterized by a time period of two or more weeks of a\npersistently low mood or a loss of interest or pleasure in doing things. It\u2019s\nextreme, and it doesn\u2019t let up after a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMany psychiatric diagnoses cluster around a 4- to 14-day time span for any\nmood episode to count,\u201d Dimitriu explains. \u201cNoting that symptoms may vary day\nto day, the other rule is that these mood symptoms are present more days than\nnot during such a time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If any concern stretches for about a week and has an impact on your quality\nof life, it\u2019s probably a good idea to inform your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How treatments differ for sleep deprivation and depression<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In all cases of sleep deprivation, whether someone is dealing with\ndepression or not, it\u2019s important to fix the sleep problem first, as this can\nbe dealt with at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things such as getting on a regular sleep schedule, limiting screen time,\nand practicing relaxation techniques before bed are all easy solutions to try\nfirst. But if you\u2019re noticing your mood continues to remain low even though\nyour sleep has improved, further evaluation may be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treatment for depression is different. Therapy and medications help some\npeople, while lifestyle changes, such as exercise, limiting alcohol, and eating\na balanced diet can help others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having insufficient sleep, Dimitriu reassures, generally won\u2019t bring on\ndepression. Our bodies have an amazing ability to compensate for a lack of\nsleep. Given time to catch some extra Zzz\u2019s, it can generally bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSleep is the most basic restorative activity for the mind, and can affect\neverything from mood to energy, to attention and focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI practice psychiatry with a deep understanding of sleep because I believe\nit is the missing piece of the puzzle, and we have had some truly outstanding\noutcomes by combining the two. The relationship is as close and fundamental as\nday and night, yin and yang,\u201d Dimitriu says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
