Sleep Problems

[Beavis2022]

Does anyone else have this problem? I can't sleep more than two hours a night. I have had depression for years, now, no drugs work at all and are horrible to take - make me much more depressed. I seem to function OK during the day, and feel better with no drugs. Does anyone know if this could be normal - that a person can live and be healthy with such little sleep? No drugs will work any more - tried for years, also counseling, and ECT. Let me know; thanks.

I’m working with thesleepreset.com/, which says everyone has their own sleep requirements., but generally ppl need more than 2 hours.

Hi there, I'm 54 and yes I suffer with sleep issues as well. Bipolar depression. I only sleep 4 hours a night with prescription medicine. Wonder if healthy also?

They say everyone's sleep needs are different, but seems like 2 or 4 hours isn't enough. I can still function OK during the day, It;s agony trying to sleep, and worrying about it....

Trying to keep active all day; seems to help - still wake up too much, though.
