    Depressed patients experience significantly more daytime drowsiness and related sleep issues than healthy individuals. Both depression and anxiety levels strongly correlate with increased daytime sleepiness.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Daytime drowsiness and sleep disturbances are common in depression.
    • The relationship between depression severity, anxiety, and specific sleep symptoms requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare daytime drowsiness and sleep-related symptoms in depressed patients versus controls.
    • To examine the correlation between depression and anxiety levels with daytime drowsiness.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluated 51 drug-free depressed patients and matched controls using seven-point rating scales for sleep symptoms.
    • Quantified depression using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
    • Assessed anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

    • Significant positive correlations were found between depression scores and daytime drowsiness.
    • Significant positive correlations were also observed between anxiety scores and daytime drowsiness.

    Conclusions:

    • Daytime drowsiness and associated sleep symptoms are prevalent in depression.
    • Depression and anxiety severity are significant contributing factors to daytime drowsiness in patients.
