Depression and sleep are closely connected, and each can significantly affect the other. Many people experiencing depression struggle with poor sleep—whether it's difficulty falling asleep, waking during the night, or feeling unrefreshed in the morning.
Antidepressant medications can play an important role in managing depression. They can also influence sleep. Some may cause drowsiness and help with sleep, while others can lead to insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. Finding the right medication and timing often requires careful adjustment with your doctor.
