10 Symptoms of Bipolar Depression
Symptom #9: Erratic Sleep
Our body clocks ensure that we are awake when we are at our most productive. Asides from those with alternative sleeping patterns, the cycle of waking in the mornings and sleeping at night works quite well for us. When this cycle begins to break down, though, life can get quite difficult. This is a symptom often experienced by people with bipolar depression.
People with the disorder find that their cycles can lose all rhythm and their sleeping patterns become erratic. Sleepless nights can mean being unable to function effectively the following day, while wanting to sleep during the day can be just as troublesome. A lack of sleep may also contribute to their development of other symptoms such as hallucinations, mania, or depression.
