Sleep Optimisation
for Depression
Depression and sleep disruption are tightly linked — each worsens the other. Addressing sleep through consistent routines, sleep restriction therapy, and stimulus control can improve both sleep and mood.
How it works
Normalises circadian rhythm and slow-wave sleep architecture disrupted by depression. Sleep deprivation exacerbates negative emotional processing; restorative sleep supports emotional regulation.
What to watch for
Sleep restriction therapy should be guided by a professional if depression is severe, as extreme sleep deprivation can temporarily worsen mood in some individuals.
