Or is it just laziness?

Laziness can be a symptom of depression

I wish I could oversleep instead of undersleep just once

But this

Lol, do you wake up sad

totally

when i was stucked in depression i used to sleep 16 hours/day, then it used to change for 3 days awake in manic episodes studying, working, hanging out, all restless.

this thing of oversleeping occurs bc ur hormones get deregulated n u brain goes on shutdown state cause it lacks energy

Define over-sleeping

If you sleep more than 8 hours a day regularly, that’s kinda weird ngl

Like 12 HOURS? Go to the doctor frfr

I don't think lazy really means you'll oversleep. i think even in depression in my experience it's not so much oversleeping but not feeling motivated to even get out of bed bc your outlook on life is so negative/ bleak. the feeling that getting out of bed is going to start a sequence of negative events.

Job fye for lettin u sleep inn like that

Who are u, the sleeping police? Mind your own f***ing business

Just meeting your bodies needs

Like waking up early and deciding to sleep some more because you don’t want to get up in the morning.

but also not only depression causes this, cellphones, tv, videogames, coffee and energy drinks, sugar, fat, stress in general.... u need to see a doc frequently to find out the cause

Today’s gonna be a terrific day

The day:

Be glad bro, nothing worse than waking up & staying up after 4 hours of sleep

Depends on the person, I got depression, and I oscillate between oversleeping and not sleeping for days on end

Deadass there have been times where I was only up for an hour out the whole day

No cap, sometimes I wake up and sit on the side of my bed for like a few minutes before I go brush my teeth.

That’s how I would’ve explained it. Whenever I have depressive episodes (It comes and goes every few months for me) it’s not necessarily oversleeping, but a feeling of tiredness cuz your brain is so frantic and I always felt stressed, tired, anxious, sad… I was tired all the time because my brain never had a true rest other than sleeping. I’ve never been a happier but it formed this habit of me taking a nap on my bad days to escape for a couple hours

what do you think laziness is lol? Depression is just a chemical imbalance in the brain. I'd assume "laziness" falls under that same category

Depression is more than just a chemical imbalance in the brain lol. We don't even fully know how neurotransmitters work just that some key ones like serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine are implicated in depression (among tons of other functions in the body)

also a lot of laziness is born out of avoidance of anxiety

It's comforting to just shut your eyes and sleep instead of having to think about what makes you anxious in life

Yeah it depends what the cause of oversleeping is too

Of course we don't. my point was that something is clearly wrong with the people in those cases, and it's not just them having a "Lazy" personality trait

That’s not depression that bipolar disorder b
