Interrupted Sleep Patterns
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, 75 percent of people with dysthymia and other depressive disorders have difficulty falling asleep. Once they're sleeping, numerous nighttime wake-ups can make it difficult to get back to a state of deep sleep.
It's common for people with dysthymia to not get enough slow-wave sleep. This is the most restorative sleep stage and it's needed to wake up feeling well-rested. Interrupted sleep patterns commonly lead to daytime sleepiness, which can cause other dysthymia symptoms to become worse.6‘Depression and Sleep: Understanding the Connection.’ Johns Hopkins Medicine, Based in Baltimore, Maryland, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/depression-and-sleep-understanding-the-connection
