HA! he said "...one shouldn't make light of depression.." Oh.. i know somebody who's related to me that thinks it's a fucking joke.. "seriously".. Actually laughed about it!.. How offensive and disturbing is that!?!
great video, this actually made sense among all the BS stories and labeling people like it's a brain disfunction that can be fulfilled with some pills. Your voice is also very calm and pleasant.
i've been depressed before. i promised myself that when i left that depressed state of mind and became better that i would never revisit that place again. but its been around 4 yrs. a lot of change and a lot of negativety has led me to this place again. i lay in bed sleeping forever. i dont want to get out of bed. this explains a lot. i need to deal with my depression again.
i always feel tired and lack motivation, i have had this problem ever since i was a child. i am not able to get to sleep till the early hours of the morning and feel exhausted and tired when i wake up, even after having 9 hours sleep, it is possible for me to sleep all day. my dreams are so intense, that sometimes i am sleeping within a sleep or dream, i have also been having anxiety attacks recently when i become distressed. but i do not think i have depression or do i?
I'm so tired right now that I could barely concentrate for this whole 7 minute video, and I'm not even exaggerating. I've been awake for almost 8 hours...
I'm going to buy this book. I have been a vivid dreamer for as long as I can remember but I've also suffered depression and lack of motivation.
I'm a little sad to be trying to limit the amount of dream sleep I get though, because it's so rich and I have very exciting dreams where I explore, get to visit new countries, lots of meaning. Today I fell asleep by mistake but I dreamed about flying a plane in a beautiful blue sky. I guess it means I should be trying to do these things in real life.
Question to the man in video - why should we trust you? You haven't given any references to actual studies. I just want some solid information to back up your claim.
I guess this kind of confirms me being depressed... I didn't really want to think of myself as 'depressed' but I was looking into anyway because I'm never happy with my life. I'm so tired of living I just want to go to sleep and never wake up... I do have dreams… lots of terrible dreams. Everyone is dying, I'm dying, I'm hiding bodies, I find bodies... And I'm so tired of being tired. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to. And the worst part is that I'm 16 and my parents refuse to help
@MyCatTalksToMe It's ok. You are not alone :) I'm 24, and I felt exactly how you felt at one time. Things get better :) They really do, even if you're depressed. Just talk to someone (I recommend professionally). It will help. YOU'RE NOT CRAZY.
I use to be very outgoing and hyper. But ever since I've turned into a 'teenager' everything is so boring and sucks. Especially the school I go to, oh boy it's a tiny school that's very very boring. With little bit of kids and nothing exciting ever happens. I'm just so bored and I feel like I'm just 'that quiet kid' but really while I'm sitting at my desk in silence all these thoughts are in my head. Sometimes I wish my friends would leave me alone so that I could be a loner and walk class to c
Im very depressed and I'm only 14... Ive never been so depressed and I'm not even sure why I'm so down these days. I think I just feel like my life is very boring at this time and I just keep having these thoughts in my head that my life is never gonna get exciting. And I never have anything to talk to with my friends, and everyday I go to school I'm just silent all day and I'm just thinking and thinking and my grades are so low and it's really stressful.
The body need sun, and some people get depressed when they dont get sun. Easy too tread, you can get a spesial sun lamp from the doctor that you can use in the winter, or somting similar...;) or you can travel to a warm place during the winter if that doesnt work :) good luck, and do something about it becaus it wont get better by itself .
I dont know so much about winterdepresion, but sometimes the body can miss some vitamins that are importen for your healt, like vitamin D. Maybe you eat or do something difrent around that time, that make you depressed:P hehe I dont know, but just look in to it :)

How bizarre.. I am a prolific dreamer, lucid dreamer and remember my dreams- even the multiple layers of dreams.. I am also a very creative person, musician, artist and have suffered depression for many yrs out of my life.. I also have a sleep disorder and wake up and go back to sleep atleast 6 times a night.. I never knew the connection.. interesting..
I think it's depressing that it seems depressed people are generally very intelligent while happy carefree people are dim witted. I guess ignorance is bliss.
If too much REM sleep can cause depression then why do infants spend around 50% of their sleep time in the REM stage? Infants seem to be the furthest from depressed. Also I've heard of something called NREM rebound which is spending more time in NREM sleep if you have been deprived of it. Wouldn't this have helped depression if too much REM was the cause?
@akkadian102 Old adults need less sleep to function optimally than young adults, it just is as it is. There is an ideal for each category and each categories ideals are different.
I really wish that most people had the level of understanding and insight with regards to depression that this man does. It's an illness that is so common and yet so perplexing for the majority of people.
I think that psychology in general makes a lot of people feel uneasy and so they choose not to learn about how mental health problems manifest themselves. I had this experience with my own family for years as they continued to view my depression from their own 'normal' perspectives.

Being depressed is just an illusion, i've also been there. What pulled me out of the misery was just 'opening my eyes'. I learned the things that they don't show on TV. I now started changingproject(.)com which is a free video information archive. People should ask themself where the depression comes from, it's all about our mind and science already revealed that everything is connected to eachother and that we create reality by thinking,thoughts with powerful emotions become reality.Do research
it depresses me more that the meaning in our lives just comes from chemicals, i know its naive, but i always wanted life to have some deeper meaning in the universe, besides being extremely complex viruses that are programmed to self preserve. but hey, this could all be depressed talk, maybe i need to have my brain working on all cylinders, but maybe these floods of chemicals are ignorance to the horrible thought that we rlly are meaningless. i hate this, it makes me feel like crap.
I agree that too much sleep in general is not good. It'll make you cloudy minded - and MORE Tired. But I don't connect that with REM, since you don't have to sleep long periods to get that. Also just because you are 'sleeping' doesn't mean you are resting / restoring. If you get plastered and pass out for 5 hours - you have NOT gotten your restorative rest. You'll have to make up for it at some point. I always did. Took me a while to figure out why I needed 2 sleeps , at least, after a drunk.
hey .. I've read some things online about REM - and most state that people go into the REM (which is the 'dream mode', right?) after a few hours or whatever. That they must sleep a certain amount of time , go through other stages of sleep before they can enter REM. Well that's a load of malarky. I can hit it almost immediately. I've dosed off and then been awoken 5 10 minutes later while in it. When that happens my heart POUNDS. Entire body will be pulsing. Luckily doesn't happen often.
I want to take it seriously, but he looks like me *when* I'm depressed. Fluffy hair because I haven't bothered brushing it, bags under my eyes despite sleeping all the time, and clothing I've just thrown on (flesh coloured jersey?). :(

Depression is the feeling of carrying the world on your shoulders. Jesus said he overcame the world. You can also. Check out Eckhart Tolle, he will help you find an end to suffering.
do u ever experience weird feelings during half asleep, like between sleep and going to sleep, I experience jumping out of my half sleep suddenly, remember hearing loud music but not noticing it till after i leave half sleep, and hearing a noise in the real world repeated louder and louder in my head.
This is VERY interesting. I consider myself depressed and very exhausted after waking up BUT, for the life of me, I can never remember any of my dreams. :/
I don't know what happened with my dreams, I just to be able to dream less but my dreams seemed more full-filling. I noticed I gradually began dreaming a lot and my dreams are now dull. I am getting more depressed, and it seems my level of depression correlates strongly with the amount of dreams I have per night.
Can you feel that you get more REM-sleep than normally in other ways than feeling tired and depressed? I mean, do you remember more about the dreaming so you're actually aware that you're doing it more than you used to?

I never can seem to remember if I have any dreams or not, But I wake up every morning exhausted and it takes me till 2pm to fully wake up. I suffer from bi polar disorder.
try a different routine in your day or when you wake up dont move just lay there with your eyes closed dont watch television and try drawing sculpting or something to be creative go into the woods on a walk by yourself and always remember you are the only one responsible for making and keeping yourself happy life is what you make it homie
Your are as powerful as you are weak - we all are. But your weaknesses/wounds/problems are forcing you to exercise your power. You will emerge as amazing human beings, I'm sure. Self-control is the right way, dudes. If the mind is too sick, work on the body first. The mind will follow. Yours truly, a guy who was like you once but is extremely brave today :)
Your problems are gifts, as hard as it is to see that. Look at it this way, you are way more mature than most your age because your issues have forced you to understand life in a deeper way than most.
its horrible. the brain is one of the most understudied parts of life and its one of the , if not the most, important thing on this earth. and im sittin heere at 1:30 in the morning worrying that tommorows sunday and that monday will soon come. i hate shchool. i wake up every morning feeling intense regret, anger, and a super intense feeling of dread and unmotivation.. i wish someone could help me. im on cymbalta but i play, and hate basketball. cymbalta used to work till i strted bball.. help
if you have social anxiety then you must know that you can revert it. Actually you can do anything with your mind. Even taking it to the next level and being a super confident man (even to a ridiculous level if you work hard). I stutter myself and have had a difficult time like you (Im 18), but after eliminating my bad beliefs, I understood like this was like learning anything, only that you start worse than the average people.
social skills are like any other skills, only that they can get ur mind messed up like no other. But they can be improved like any skill or ability too
I had stuttering, Body dismorphic disorder or at least a huge worrying about apparence, which i still don't get rid about, but my stuttering worrying has really went down
(btw, if you wanna do something for your life, you must research, and learn what you must do! like some theraphy (self-instructing is enough) or whatever else)
thats my problem. i feel i have no control over my mind. i tend to overthink everything like crazy. its weird. i need mind disipline if it exists.. meditation.. i wish i had time to meditate.
it's difficult to control your mind and thoughts, and even if you try hard you'd have to become a buda dude to have great mind discipline.
The best way to change your thoughts, it's to change your behavior, it's way easier to do. If you said that you have social anxiety, then i assume that u probably have fear of meeting ppl, talking and that kind of stuff (me too), so if you do these things, your emotions will gradually change. See it this way: Body is controlable, mind isn't too much
@TheScreamingRetard you in college ? I've been goin through the same thing so I'm taking a semester off to get my shit straight. If you think taking time off from school or stepping back from other things will work, do it. Don't let anyone stop you from doing things at your own pace man.
im the most unmotivated 17 yr old guy on this planet.. its horrible. waking up is the hardest pert of my day.. its epically rediculous..i have social anxiety and cant sleep at nite. i get like 4-5 hours of slep a nite and feel like shit all day.. i have some pretty amazing, cinematic dreams . always recurring dreams of fighting and killing zombies, incredibly action packed dreams, alot of apocalyptic dreams, and precognitive plane crash dreams. i cant stop dreading everything.. ugh i hate the mo
I've seen videos that suggest that REM sleep is needed for the mind to relax and make sense of our problems.
One part of the brain relaxes and we dream, we dramatise our problems in our dreams in order to make sense of them and deal with them. REM sleep is built into us to survive.
The 'saying sleep on it' stands true, I have a lot of REM sleep and I don't see how too much REM sleep can cause depression.
@casio124478 thanks for your comment. This video isn't saying that REM sleep isn't important, indeed you are exactly right - getting enough REM sleep is utterly vital to our sanity and survival. What this video is saying is that: - the high brain activity of REM (when dearousing emotion), when too much of it occurs, can contribute to feelings of exhaustion and lack of motivation that can lead to a cycle of depression. A certain amount of REM is needed, but too much can be as bad as too little.
I certainly understand how too much sleep can create that viscious cycle as you describe- tiredness and lack of desire to do things- for some people sleep and dreaming is a form of escape.
As for REM on its own, it is a very fascinating field of study. It is something well all do and can speculate on, but no one can really explain just eactly what it is!
@mindfieldscollege what if i told you that my teacher said if you miss out on REM sleep one night the next time you sleep your body will make up for the lost REM sleep but my teacher is dumb because she thinks shes a scientist just because she teaches biology but shes not because doesnt she need a phd not just a ba and when i told her shes not a scientist she made me sit outside and i told my mom who pays like 15,000 a year for my school and she said never send me out of class again punk
i've heard that our brains nearly fully active during REM sleep - so i guess it'd make sense if you wake up tired if your brain has been active more than it should when asleep
@Youareatroller LOL yeah nice comment there matey- fucking tosspot- completely unprovoked abuse- what the hell are you even moaning about? Get a life you grade a fucking wanker!
REM sleep is a crucial part of the sleep cycle. Too much of any phase of the cycle (or too little) will alter brain chemistry.
REM sleep has a high brain activity level, in cases as high as when we are awake. The brain is re-establishing connections and consolidating memory. The result of our brains' shifting through our memories results in dreaming.
That said, it is not very restorative... too much REM means too much activity, hence waking up tired, staying tired all day.
all stages of sleep are important, but too much of any is not normal. during REM, the brain is relatively active, and neurons are firing rather rapidly.
an example to give is sedative withdrawal. alcohol, benzos, barbs, etc. all suppress REM sleep. a person dependent on these will be deprived of REM. when coming off of the drugs, the brain will undergo REM rebound, in which sleep is essentially continual rem. people experiencing this are extremely exhausted constantly.

@casio124478 No, it stands to reason that too much or too little of anything can result in health problems, that's just common sense really. Everyone should understand that balance is the key to good health.
@jaytee1792 if you go to the lift-depression website in the video info there is tonnes of free practical advice and information in addition to the book
Sleep is Crucial for your overall health. I wrote and article on how much sleep you should get a night,link is on my profile. Please don't mark as spam, i'm trying to help people get a good sleep.
there are a lot of things that want me to take action: musically... politics... is BS! it's so far removed from a human stand point THESE days. not so much in the past especially music. i find it difficult to vote for a politician. my reason being is that they are all good at being puppets. the world isnt run by politics. its run by greedy humans. why the shit are people still starving and living on the streets?
It does seen that British have more common sense than Americans on average. Don't know why, but find myself listening to them more than people of my own country.
Well you see, there are only 50 million people in the UK. There are what, around 300 million Americans? Just by ratio, there have to be a lot more stupid Americans.
hope if you have time you may be able to answer..i am experiancing what you have mentioned...maybe expet i dont think i have dreams o dont remember them. i wake up completely exhausted and remain so all day doesnt matter how long i rest
This guy knows what he's talking about. Describes me perfectly.
I disagree on one thing though: the worrying. My innate needs aren't met, but it doesn't make me worry. In fact I rarely worry about anything. It's more of a feeling of emptiness.
No people shouldn't make light of depression. I struggle with exhaustion all the time, and at night I'm an insomniac and then the next day after a lot of sleep, with what seems like a lot of dreaming, I'm exhausted, and people always laugh, "oh look, so and so is up, finally, still tired though!" ho ho.
You feel tired, fed up and sensitive, and people make a big deal out of it, turning you into the joke of the moment. Thanks for this video.
Hi jaytonbye, you don't have to be depressed for too much dreaming to make you exhausted, it happens to everyone as a natural reaction after too much dreaming. Depression may occur if you get stuck in the cycle of worrying/dreaming too much/lack of motivation - as this can lead to full on depressed feelings. Hope this helps
I'm exhausted because all I do is work sirs....no one gives me sex....I'm treated like John Rambo.....people harass me all day and night like the bible says, wolves and sheep....I'm poking my finger into your chest sir....if you want to candy coat life so be it but unless your making major money your ass will feel raw!....you got it hunh!
depression is also a problem salving mechanism, that keeps looping. Also a shottadge of vitimanes, over exostian, and maby other reasons are a factor maby.
I have exesive REM sleep and I'm not depresive at all...
The REM sleep has the function of resolve emotional problems, of course, if you are depressive your brain will go into REM Sleep more frequently in order to resolve your worries.
Since I have exesive REM sleep since I'm 16 years old,(and I've recorded myself) I could tell you that I go almost directly into REM, and in few hours I'm "full battery" and also with the motivation to live thanks the REM SLEEP!
LOL, you can't measure REM sleep yourself, you need an EEG (brain wave measuring device) to do it accurately. Plus we actually have dreams outside of REM sleep which are different than the ones in it. If you were really having excessive REM sleep it would be interfering with the deeper stages of sleep and you'd wake up tired... maybe even exhausted. Look it up, scientists know that excessive REM sleep is unhealthy. Everything in moderation
I'm narcoleptic, and I go faster in REM sleep than the Usual, also is connected with an muscular hypotony that I have as heritage from my mother. I'm not a scientist but I could tell you so many things from my own experience... sleeping paralysis, lucid dreams, automathical behaviour... I have all of them...The exesive REM sleep is without doubts connected with emotional problems, what I'm saying that is not the reason of the depression, but the inverse.Depression-->then REM
I think its a two way road, the depressing thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, etc. over time build up and your brain can no longer flush out these emotional arousals with normal REM sleep, so it goes into overdrive, and this is exhausting. It then becomes a vicious cycle as it has for me: I wake up miserable and thus spend alot of my day doing little but ruminating and feeling terrible, building up more for my brain to flush out in the coming nights, and so on.
It may also be that changes in the structure/shrinking of the limbic system (in particular the hippocampus: this has been seen by scientists in more severe or chronic depression) cause the excessive REM sleep... but this is just one of my theories
hi, not trying to sell u anything, just thought i's advise checking out the "Truehope" videos on youtube, it''s an incredible non-profit Canadian program that has helped so many that i know. Peace.
there is alot i have been going through and you know certain things make people tick quicker than others but ive been up all nite lately i have been staying up like this i stay up till 10 Am nowadays i could wake up and go to summer school and come home sleep 10 7 8 9 pm then it repeats ive been dreaming alot more dreams about love and wanting to have fun
I am in the second bout of clinical depression in my life. It is hell. There is no single answer or cure, unfortunately. I would rather have a broken leg - at least that has a fairly definite time-frame and process for recovery. Nonetheless, I try to take comfort in simple things, and that is the best I can do at the moment. Anyone who is depressed is not alone, that's for sure. You are not suffering in isolation if you are depressed.
Im depressed because the way I think of it life was much better in the past like the 90s and I feel like this future is horrible and I find little reason staying in it
i tell you whats frustrating, all the descriptions of depression are missunderstood. All these feelings are literal and unless you have it, you cant put yourself in their shoes. This is a good video.
I have exactly this problem. I'm on Prozac, but it is not helping...I dream a great deal and I'm exhausted throughout the day. Can you please tell me some solution? It would be highly appreciated. Thanks
CRF250RGUY's words are what my words would be if I wrote them. Except I RARELY remember any dreams. Im nearly 24 years old. I have no money to throw into a grocery pot, I have, literally, less than a handful of friends, I basically hate my job. Life seriously seemed better when I smoked pot all day and produced my music. Now, all I have is my music, I VERY rarely get high. Im caught in a unhealthy cycle of staying up until 7am and sleeping til 2pm on workdays and 8pm on days off. Life sucks.
I find i have some completely restless nights, its like im not fully asleep, and i would have an awful lot of dreams, i can never just get up, even if i wake up and got back to sleep for 5 min i could have another dream. I am not happy in my life, I severly hate myself for the way my life has turned out, and i cant stop living in the past. I never went to any therapy because i dont think anyone can change who i am or what i think.
you will ever get out of the situation if you meet something that you care and you like,and make you happy,i'm depressed too,nobody cares about me,and when i sleep i feel amazing i my dreamworld,but wtf,the morning comes too fast,and the all disapears,i really know how you feel pal...
I'm definitely going through all of this channels videos. . .they are very interesting and informative
I sleep every night, usually 2 or 3 separate dreams. . i usually always remember them too, so i have made a dream journal. . . but now, after watching this, i don't know if keeping one is a good idea or not?
I would say that as long as a dream journal does not unduely inturrupt your sleeping or become too important to you, then it is fine to keep one. Interpreting our dreams can be fun and fascinating, but it's not always a good idea to read too much meaning into them. We are after all, designed to forget our dreams - see why-we-dream(.com) website. They are destressing us and letting us move on from our worries.
This guy is so dead on, I dream like a madman. I dream dream dream and I wake up tired. I work in an office catching credit card fraud. It takes alot of mental energy that I don't have. I don't feel like I have motivation I feel like dead weight, and I dream alot. Thanks for your interesting theory.
am i depressed? i used to be a happy kid i loved to hang out with my friend, but now i don't feel like hang out or talking to anyone, i felt a lot of emotion sometime my tear just come out for no reason. and i sometime feel nervous for no reason like thing that i shouldn't be nervous about. im alway the loudest kid and the funny one. but now im the one that sit in the corner and sad. i hope i can get a good answer and be positive. can this happen as you change from a kid from an adult?
Thank you so much for explaining this. I've recovered very well from depression however I still struggle with exhaustion no matter how many hours I get (between 6-12, doesn't make a difference).
I will try working harder on getting better sleeping habits, I listen to my music on my computer all night long because it turns my mind off from thinking (not always worrying, just thinking).

The way out of depression is through the body.Check out Alexander
Lowen & Bioenergetics. It is probably also orthomolecular, ie serotonin,
vitamins & minerals help.
Try meditation to control thoughts that are creating problems.
Actually this guy has it wrong, when you are depressed, you go
to sleep tired, wake up tired, you are tired!
Depression isn't about disappointment or sadness per se.
It's lose of feelings and energy! You are not sad, that's sadness!
It's about not caring!!

I guess this kind of confirms me being depressed... I didn't really want to think of myself as 'depressed' but I was looking into anyway because I'm never happy with my life. I'm so tired of living I just want to go to sleep and never wake up... I do have dreams… lots of terrible dreams. Everyone is dying, I'm dying, I'm hiding bodies, I find bodies... And I'm so tired of being tired. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to. And the worst part is that I'm 16 and my parents refuse to help

If too much REM sleep can cause depression then why do infants spend around 50% of their sleep time in the REM stage? Infants seem to be the furthest from depressed. Also I've heard of something called NREM rebound which is spending more time in NREM sleep if you have been deprived of it. Wouldn't this have helped depression if too much REM was the cause?

I really wish that most people had the level of understanding and insight with regards to depression that this man does. It's an illness that is so common and yet so perplexing for the majority of people.
I think that psychology in general makes a lot of people feel uneasy and so they choose not to learn about how mental health problems manifest themselves. I had this experience with my own family for years as they continued to view my depression from their own 'normal' perspectives.

I agree that too much sleep in general is not good. It'll make you cloudy minded - and MORE Tired. But I don't connect that with REM, since you don't have to sleep long periods to get that. Also just because you are 'sleeping' doesn't mean you are resting / restoring. If you get plastered and pass out for 5 hours - you have NOT gotten your restorative rest. You'll have to make up for it at some point. I always did. Took me a while to figure out why I needed 2 sleeps , at least, after a drunk.

hey .. I've read some things online about REM - and most state that people go into the REM (which is the 'dream mode', right?) after a few hours or whatever. That they must sleep a certain amount of time , go through other stages of sleep before they can enter REM. Well that's a load of malarky. I can hit it almost immediately. I've dosed off and then been awoken 5 10 minutes later while in it. When that happens my heart POUNDS. Entire body will be pulsing. Luckily doesn't happen often.

it's difficult to control your mind and thoughts, and even if you try hard you'd have to become a buda dude to have great mind discipline.
The best way to change your thoughts, it's to change your behavior, it's way easier to do. If you said that you have social anxiety, then i assume that u probably have fear of meeting ppl, talking and that kind of stuff (me too), so if you do these things, your emotions will gradually change. See it this way: Body is controlable, mind isn't too much

Too much REM is bad for you?
I've seen videos that suggest that REM sleep is needed for the mind to relax and make sense of our problems.
One part of the brain relaxes and we dream, we dramatise our problems in our dreams in order to make sense of them and deal with them. REM sleep is built into us to survive.
The 'saying sleep on it' stands true, I have a lot of REM sleep and I don't see how too much REM sleep can cause depression.
casio124478 2 years ago
@casio124478 thanks for your comment. This video isn't saying that REM sleep isn't important, indeed you are exactly right - getting enough REM sleep is utterly vital to our sanity and survival. What this video is saying is that: - the high brain activity of REM (when dearousing emotion), when too much of it occurs, can contribute to feelings of exhaustion and lack of motivation that can lead to a cycle of depression. A certain amount of REM is needed, but too much can be as bad as too little.

Hi, thanks for clearing that up for me.
I certainly understand how too much sleep can create that viscious cycle as you describe- tiredness and lack of desire to do things- for some people sleep and dreaming is a form of escape.
As for REM on its own, it is a very fascinating field of study. It is something well all do and can speculate on, but no one can really explain just eactly what it is!

@casio124478
REM sleep is a crucial part of the sleep cycle. Too much of any phase of the cycle (or too little) will alter brain chemistry.
REM sleep has a high brain activity level, in cases as high as when we are awake. The brain is re-establishing connections and consolidating memory. The result of our brains' shifting through our memories results in dreaming.
That said, it is not very restorative... too much REM means too much activity, hence waking up tired, staying tired all day.
EdudLufetips 1 year ago

all stages of sleep are important, but too much of any is not normal. during REM, the brain is relatively active, and neurons are firing rather rapidly.
an example to give is sedative withdrawal. alcohol, benzos, barbs, etc. all suppress REM sleep. a person dependent on these will be deprived of REM. when coming off of the drugs, the brain will undergo REM rebound, in which sleep is essentially continual rem. people experiencing this are extremely exhausted constantly.

Hi jaytonbye, you don't have to be depressed for too much dreaming to make you exhausted, it happens to everyone as a natural reaction after too much dreaming.

The REM sleep has the function of resolve emotional problems, of course, if you are depressive your brain will go into REM Sleep more frequently in order to resolve your worries.

patriciozarazaga 2 years ago
I think its a two way road, the depressing thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, etc. over time build up and your brain can no longer flush out these emotional arousals with normal REM sleep, so it goes into overdrive, and this is exhausting. It then becomes a vicious cycle as it has for me: I wake up miserable and thus spend alot of my day doing little but ruminating and feeling terrible, building up more for my brain to flush out in the coming nights, and so on.
88bananapeels 2 years ago
It may also be that changes in the structure/shrinking of the limbic system (in particular the hippocampus: this has been seen by scientists in more severe or chronic depression) cause the excessive REM sleep... but this is just one of my theories

CRF250RGUY's words are what my words would be if I wrote them. Except I RARELY remember any dreams. Im nearly 24 years old. I have no money to throw into a grocery pot, I have, literally, less than a handful of friends, I basically hate my job. Life seriously seemed better when I smoked pot all day and produced my music. Now, all I have is my music, I VERY rarely get high. Im caught in a unhealthy cycle of staying up until 7am and sleeping til 2pm on workdays and 8pm on days off. Life sucks.

I have the suspicion that this theory also explains chronic fatigue syndrome.

I find i have some completely restless nights, its like im not fully asleep, and i would have an awful lot of dreams, i can never just get up, even if i wake up and got back to sleep for 5 min i could have another dream. I am not happy in my life, I severly hate myself for the way my life has turned out, and i cant stop living in the past. I never went to any therapy because i dont think anyone can change who i am or what i think.

I'm definitely going through all of this channels videos. . .they are very interesting and informative
I sleep every night, usually 2 or 3 separate dreams. . i usually always remember them too, so i have made a dream journal. . . but now, after watching this, i don't know if keeping one is a good idea or not?

I would say that as long as a dream journal does not unduely inturrupt your sleeping or become too important to you, then it is fine to keep one. Interpreting our dreams can be fun and fascinating, but it's not always a good idea to read too much meaning into them. We are after all, designed to forget our dreams - see why-we-dream(.com) website. They are destressing us and letting us move on from our worries.

This guy is so dead on, I dream like a madman. I dream dream dream and I wake up tired. I work in an office catching credit card fraud. It takes alot of mental energy that I don't have. I don't feel like I have motivation I feel like dead weight, and I dream alot. Thanks for your interesting theory.

am i depressed? i used to be a happy kid i loved to hang out with my friend, but now i don't feel like hang out or talking to anyone, i felt a lot of emotion sometime my tear just come out for no reason. and i sometime feel nervous for no reason like thing that i shouldn't be nervous about. im alway the loudest kid and the funny one. but now im the one that sit in the corner and sad. i hope i can get a good answer and be positive. can this happen as you change from a kid from an adult?

Thank you so much for explaining this. I've recovered very well from depression however I still struggle with exhaustion no matter how many hours I get (between 6-12, doesn't make a difference).
I will try working harder on getting better sleeping habits, I listen to my music on my computer all night long because it turns my mind off from thinking (not always worrying, just thinking).
