...i wrote a long explanation here, but actually, it's pretty simple when you get down to it. depression is mostly related to the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. a decrease in serotonin has to do with stress and anxiety, as does an increase in norepinephrine. being stressed and anxious makes it hard to sleep because norepinephrine is in charge of giving your body arousal and energy (for the most part), so it's hard to completely shut down the body and sleep with too much of it, especially since norepinephrine needs to be low (usually) to allow sleep, and it decreases as you sleep.
so i guess it wasn't that complicated after all, and i don't get to show off. lame. : P
educate us
I'm stressed 24/7 so its always hard for me to sleep
fun fact: sleeping too much causes weight gain because it leads to an increase in prolactin, which increases appetite. prolactin also causes afterglow. isn't the body strange
The posting a lot thing is funny because for the entire first 2 or maybe 3 years that I had an account I was under like 600 posts because I just never came on (high school).
It was afterwards that I randomly came back and since 2015 started I went from like 8k to almost 18k dd.
