Can sleeping cure depression? !

“I was told that depression can be cured by sleeping.”

 

It seems that a patient of our clinic who is going to an occupational therapy facility for mental illness such as depression was told by someone who is also going to the facility.

 

to another person

“Eating sweets is good for your spirit.”

It seems that I was also told.

 

Few doctors give detailed instructions on how to treat mental illnesses such as depression.

Therefore, the exact treatment method is not known to the general public.

 

Can sleep cure depression?

Can sweets improve the spirit?

 

Every day, I treat people with depression, anxiety, and panic disorder, and there are people who feel that “this person is difficult to heal.”

what kind of person is that person

sleeping person

is.

 

“Wouldn’t it be better if I just slept?”

“It’s been said for a long time that if you sleep, you’ll be cured.”

 

No.

Depression doesn’t go away with sleep.

In fact, sleeping all day can actually make depression worse.

The only things that can be cured by sleeping are colds and injuries.

Mental illness gets worse when you sleep.

 

“Anything sweet?”

Eating sweets temporarily raises your spirits because dopamine is released.

Dopamine is also released when you drink alcohol, but it is temporary.

It has no mood-enhancing effect.

 

 

 

Why sleeping makes depression worse

 

Depression is caused by too much stress in most people for a variety of reasons.

In short, the sympathetic nervous system is dominant.

 

“Then why not relax at home and let the parasympathetic nervous system take over?”

Not really.

 

It’s not well known, but the parasympathetic nerve is a set with the sympathetic nerve.

The parasympathetic nerve does not rise as much as the sympathetic nerve rises.

 

If you sleep all day long, your sympathetic nerves will not rise, so your parasympathetic nerves will not rise at night.

 

“But I’m working too hard and my sympathetic nerves should be up…”

In fact, your sympathetic nerves are dominant, but you continue to fly low.

 

When it comes to when the sympathetic nerve goes up, it is “when you move your body”.

Of course, desk work will improve it, but it will not improve as much as when you move your body.

 

Since your sympathetic nerves continued to fly low, the parasympathetic nerves were hardly activated at night, resulting in poor quality of sleep and depression.

 

To cure depression, you first need to get up and move during the day.

And if you increase the sympathetic nerve, the parasympathetic nerve will increase at night and you will be able to get a good quality sleep.

 

Humans heal while they sleep, so the next morning is a little better than the day before.

If you keep doing that, your depression will heal day by day.

 

This is why sleeping all day doesn’t help.

People who are recovering from depression should move their bodies instead of staying at home.
