Have any of you successfully dealt with the early morning awakening side effect of depression? (lemmy.world)

It’s been like 3 weeks now that I’ve woken up at 4am without good reason. Have tried physical activity, melatonin, going to bed earlier.. nothing seems to work. Any advice is appreciated.

This takes me back to the bad old days!

I will say depressive naps I took probably contributed to this more than anything else. When you're getting 4+ hours of sleep during the day, you'll only sleep so much at night. When I stopped doing that this problem almost entirely went away.
