How To Get Deep Sleep When Suffering From Depression

default
Posted on Mon, 12 May 2014
Question: Hi, Currently I am going through a deep depression and my sleeps are going very bad. I am not getting sleep before 3 to 4 AM. This makes my morning very discomfort. How can I get a full sleep? During the sleep, I feel very discomfort and wake very frequently. Always some thing will go through my brain like some thoughts. I try to escape from those thoughts but unable to do. Can you help me to get rid from this? Also how can I get a very deep sleep? Even due to this sometime I feel some pain in my brain. I showed to Neurologist and done the brain scanning. But nothing was their.
