Sleep and Depression
Depression causes a number of sleep disturbances: increased sleep latency, increased nocturnal and early-morning awakenings, shortened latency to REM sleep, increased REM density, decreased slow-wave sleep in first NREM cycle.
REM sleep deprivation alleviates depression; also most antidepressants suppress REM sleep (exceptions: bupropion, nefazodone (Serzone)) (K&S, p.2154)
