How can my sleep-wake schedule help me avoid a depression relapse?

Getting seven to nine hours of sleep every night has been shown to protect against depression, as does maintaining your natural circadian rhythm; that is, your sleep-wake schedule. The best way to keep a balanced sleep schedule is to wake up at the same time every morning, even on weekends. It has also been shown that getting five to ten minutes of light as soon as you wake up can boost your mood.

This form of light exposure doesn’t require intense light (as is needed to treat seasonal affective disorder); it can be achieved by turning on a lamp next to your bed with a 100-watt lightbulb. The key to aiding the stabilization of your circadian rhythm is that the light exposure occurs at the same time each day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
