maybe differnt kinds of depression? I don't think we know yet if there are many different underlying diseases causing depression.
Also--just to add to the mix here, those of us with sleep apnea (or other sleep disorders perhaps), which can also cause depression, may have not only less of the deep sleep (stage 4, I think) but also not enough REM sleep. I was only receiving 25% of normal REM sleep, according to my sleep study. But my system was always trying to make up for it by sleeping every chance I could. Only problem was that I wasn't getting the continuous sleep needed to go through normal sleep stages.
