(2017), and mentioning specific sleep issues like restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea, which indicates participants’ active analysis.

Abstract in brief

  • The article reviews how different antidepressants affect sleep, emphasizing that their impact varies based on drug type, dose, timing, and treatment duration.
  • During short-term use, some antidepressants with activating effects may disrupt sleep, while sedative ones can quickly improve sleep but might cause oversedation if used long-term.
  • Managing sleep issues in depression involves using low doses of certain antidepressants early before bedtime, combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI), and doctors should monitor for potential sleep disorder side effects like sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome.
