Too much REM sleep: why do depressed people wake up exhausted?

well he just described exactly how i feel every single scum day im sick of being tired im sick of feeling sadall the time im sick of being me

i trust this guy hes british, hes smarter

god i wish i could be depressed. i never enter rem sleep EVER...

i'll trade a depressed person for my insomnia any day :(

haha sorry for your insomnia ive only had a small taste and it sucks
the thing is that being depressed sleep is like my favorite thing in the whole world bar none

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

i was wondering why i have been having so many dreams.

depression.

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.

I completely understand what you are saying, my question is:

Is there anything that I can do about dreaming too much? Why is it happening?

Thank you.

Thank you mindfieldscollege,
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.
