If a guy sleeps a lot does that mean he's depressed?

[Nazgol]

Like randomly in the day or sleeps a lot

[jennifer_bloom]

He might also be bloated - a quick way to check is to examine the garbage bin - count the number of candy wrappers you see and compare it with the mice in your laboratories

[vduong1988]

yes i sleep with my best friend he gets depression and anxiety i feel bad for him i had feelings for him he do have feeling for me he did cry i had to cheer him up i do love him.

[AviatorTom]

No, it means he's tired, possibly overworked. If he's always tired, he should see a doctor... he may have an iron or vitamin deficiency.

[KrakenAttackin]

@AviatorTom. Tom, what did/do you fly?

[AviatorTom]

@KrakenAttackin As explained in my profile, I am not a pilot, but in my career as an engineer, I did a lot of flying as a passenger to places all over the globe.

[KrakenAttackin]

@AviatorTom. Ok, so you are not an aviator.

[NathanDavis]

it could be so many other things, so no...

sleeping a lot, that alone does not mean depression

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

If he is getting at least 8 hrs at night it might be. But it also could be a lack of daylight. Get outside for at least 1 hr and see if that makes a difference.

[Apulu_Imback]

It's possible, depressed people like to sleep more as they want to escape the world. Sleeping is like short term death to them. Even I used to sleep a lot when I was depressed.

[Agagagagaga]

I’ve been depressed most of my life and have been on so many meds I’ve lost count. Sleep is the most wonderful thing in my life. I can just go to bed and forget I exist and lose all awareness of just how unfulfilling life really is.

[Apulu_Imback]

@Agagagagaga I know right. I also sleep when I feel depressed. It's just like an small escape from my sadness.

[silkjames]

If that person is not doing there normal routine and just sleeping all the time not acting like them selves something is most definitely wrong.

[serious]

No, that is not an automatic indication towards the same

[Khronuskeeper]

Just this one sign on its own, no. If it's part of a group of signs, then sure.

[Sevenpointfive]

no. he likes to be in bed with you getting that nookie

[josephinelcajon]

Can be a lot of things. Without knowing his age and normal activity level and if this is a change.

[Anonymous]

It's possible. Or it could be he just likes to sleep a lot.
I sleep a lot. But my dreams are frequently more enjoyable than my life. That's sounds like I'm depressed, but I'm not. I'm quite happy. I think I just get bored easy

[Andres77]

Maybe. What does he do for work?
Do you guys ever talk about future plans?

[Nazgol]

Security alarm technician

[Andres77]

Is it a 9-5 job?

[Nazgol]

Usually even earlier than 9.. more like 7 something but he does like to stay up too.. at nights

[exitseven]

It could mean that , especially if he is not interested in anything.

[FilmGuy93]

Sometimes, but it's probably more likely that he just works strange hours and is tired

[fonduegirl]

He probably has hypersomnia, and although that too is a sign of depression — not necessarily.

[sheikalana]

Could be a sign of depression. But I've noticed that men tend to sleep so much more than women.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Can definitely be. Also can be he works a whole lot and is mentally, emotionally and physically drained

[Anonymous]

Yea that might be true. I sleep a lot and am depressed

[msc545]

Assuming that he has no medical problem, then yes - hypersomnia is a sign of depression.

[Jackson619]

It can be I deal with depression I don't sleep a lot but I rather be alone

[KrakenAttackin]

What sort of work does he do?

[Nazgol]

Security alarm technician

[boobliker]

game playing at night mostly

[Noodle_fan]

sleep a lot , like more than 8 hours @day?

[Staximus]

Either unhealthy or depressed

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

Only if he's autistic

[Bklynbadboy12]

No it just means he's tired

[anylolone]

Usually yes.

[TallAnon]

Could also be ill

[TrillXHippy]

Yeah probably

[red_knight]

Sometimes
