Depression is more than just feeling “blue”—it is a complex mental health condition that affects every facet of your life. While many factors contribute to depression, one of the most significant and often overlooked triggers is sleep deprivation.
At Somnus Sleep Center, we believe that a healthy mind begins with a healthy night’s rest. By identifying and treating underlying sleep disorders, we help our patients break the cycle of exhaustion and low mood.
Many patients suffering from depression are actually dealing with an undiagnosed sleep condition. Our specialists at Somnus Sleep Center look for:
Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep is a primary symptom and risk factor for clinical depression.
Sleep Apnea: Frequent nighttime awakenings caused by breathing pauses can lead to severe daytime fatigue and mood swings.
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): The physical discomfort of RLS can prevent the deep, restorative sleep needed for mental health.
