Depression and sleep: Stick to a routine or listen to your body? 😴

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing okay today.

When depression and sleep problems go hand in hand, figuring out the right approach can be confusing. Some say to stick to a strict routine. Others say rest as much as you need. But what works… and what doesn’t?

💬 What’s your experience been like?

Do you have a bedtime routine that helps, or do you let your body guide you?

What tips would you give to someone struggling to sleep through the night?
