Sleeping Late and Depression: Many people struggle with sleep problems. Stress, overthinking, nightmares and caffeine may be the reason for disrupted sleep. Modern lifestyles encourage late night sleep habits. Studies show that late sleep can affect mental health. Research from the University of Surrey in the UK confirms this.
A study observed 646 students aged 17 to 28. Researchers tracked their sleep habits, health and depression levels. Results showed a link between sleep patterns and mental health.
People who sleep and wake up early have lower stress levels. Those who stay awake late at night are at higher risk of depression. Late night sleepers struggle with focus and emotional control. Some also consume alcohol frequently. Experts warn that this increases the risk of mental health issues.
Some people fall asleep instantly. Others take time to sleep. Some sleep late but wake up early. Others need long hours of rest. Research shows:
– 15–25% of people sleep early and wake up early.
– 50–60% sleep late and wake up late.
– 10–20% struggle to sleep and wake up very late.
People who sleep between 12 AM and 2 AM have the highest risk of depression. Those who sleep between 10 PM and 11 PM are at lower risk of depression. People who sleep before 10 PM and wake up between 6 AM and 7 AM have the lowest risk of depression.
