One of the symptoms of depression is not sleeping enough and having trouble falling asleep or sleeping way too much. Although there have been times recently when I had trouble getting to the land of Morpheous because a certain lady was on my mind, I generally fall in the latter category. Once I fall asleep that’s it. Either I will wake up 12 hours later (weekends) or when my five alarms finally get me up (weekdays).
To make a short story long, one of my flatmates had a party. I have not been in the party mood as of late so I headed of to bed. Apparently the party got so loud that the cops have been called in and gave my flatmate a fine. I slept through the whole thing.

Aaaah …. hypersomnia. One of the ‘blessings’ of major depressive disorder, at least in my case, because once I am asleep I do sleep through both my dearly beloved’s terrible snoring and grinding of teeth! And am senseless to the DB’s rising at 4:45am (brought up on a farm) and various other morning noises.
It’s one of those silver linings you just have to keep searching for.
I am loving your blog, by the way! Keep up the great work.
