Depression is a mood disorder that is characterized by sadness, or having the blues. Nearly everyone feels sad or down from time to time. Sometimes, however, the sad feelings become intense, last for long periods, keep a person from leading a normal life, and can interfere with sleep, appetite, and energy.
One of the most common emotional disorders that impact Americans is depression. The disorder can manifest itself with symptoms that you may not immediately recognize as being part of depression—especially when it comes to sleep issues. Here’s what you should know about the connection between sleeping and depression.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tells us that depression is the most common emotional disorder in the United States. Approximately 1 in 5 American adults has a disorder that affects thoughts, behaviors, emotions, or a combination of the three, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
What Causes Depression?
No one knows for sure what causes depression, but several factors have been linked to it,
Including:
- Family history of mental disorders
- Abnormalities in brain circuits that regulate mood
- Physical and mental health disorders
- Environment, such as living in a place that is often cloudy and gray
- Stress
- Alcohol or drug abuse
- Medications

Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT) or photo biomodulation, utilizes red and near-infrared light wavelengths to stimulate cellular processes in the body.
Red light therapy can specifically:
- Increase sluggish energy levels
- Support a balanced mood
- Improve mental clarity and confidence
- Improve general positivity, and calm, and reduce anxiety
- Reduce seasonal depression (SAD)
