Recent research has been continuously discussing the relationship between sleep and depression. In order to provide a new perspective on this, studies have been conducted on how supplementing sleep affects the prevention of depression.
Firstly, it has been found that individuals who sleep extra hours on weekends to compensate for insufficient sleep during weekdays are significantly less likely to experience depressive symptoms. Those who sleep an extra 1-2 hours on weekends have seen up to a 46% decrease in the probability of experiencing depressive symptoms. These results indicate a positive impact of sleep on preventing depression.
Especially for those who sleep less than 6 hours on weekdays, supplementing sleep on weekends has shown greater effects. Even supplementing sleep by less than 2 hours on weekends significantly reduced the probability of experiencing depressive symptoms. This underscores the significance of taking more rest on weekends to compensate for weekday sleep deprivation.
However, since this study focused on alleviating depression, it doesn’t always mean that catching up on sleep on weekends is beneficial for overall health. Previous studies have highlighted that prolonged lying in bed on weekends can increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Therefore, sleep supplementation should be approached considering individual health status and sleep patterns.
It has also been confirmed that people who sleep late on weekends are more likely to have unhealthy eating habits. This indicates a close relationship between sleep patterns and dietary habits. Maintaining a healthy sleep pattern along with regular eating habits is important for preventing depression and maintaining overall health.
In conclusion, sleep supplementation can be effective in preventing depression, but a balanced approach considering individual health status and sleep patterns is necessary. Taking rest on weekends while maintaining a regular lifestyle rhythm can help maintain a healthier life.
