Sleep is my Kryptonite

Posted by Peter S. on July 31, 2002, at 18:42:55

Anybody else have an experience where after a good night sleep they feel depressed? Also I have been taking a nap in the afternoon lately and generally feel OK before the nap- but afterwards look out! A major descent into the darkness, death, pain, self-loathing and whatever else fills my depressed mind. I've decided to start using caffeine to avoid the naps.
There must be some research as to why this happens. It doesn't seem to happen to all depressive prone people. Maybe there could be some differental diagnosis based on this criteria? I'm beginning to suspect that I'm kind of bipolar II or III.
Just another mystery wrapped in an enigma- like treatment for most mental illness.
