Our ability to keep our regular sleeping patterns tend to change because of mental health problems or illness.

No surprise there at all!

Even when you feel a bit upset or maybe even cried, you tend to feel tired and sleepy too.

So this irregular sleep pattern can be either sleeping too much or too little and even come with nighttime disturbances, especially when you compare it to previous sleep routines.

I mentioned sleeping too much in the first post on Monday but this particular link is more about the changes in the sleep patterns than about how much you might sleep.

This is the link that I see most often but sadly so many people don't take this sign very seriously and end up with additional issues that compile into a complicated maze of interlink problems.

Which is why I would really encourage you to seek help early.

No need to suffer for months on end.
