Brief Answer:
Sleep deprivation; nothing to be worried about
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM. I understand your conern. Thank you for the question.
Depressive disorders, even when under treatment, may result in sleep deprivation and, sometimes, in over-sleeping. Both these situations, if present for a long time, are accompanied by yawning and, sometimes, by difficulty to deep-breath, concentrate. The optimal hours to sleep are 7-8 hours per night, and they are best to take place between 10 pm and 6 am (these are the optimal hours which are characterized by the "careful" organism hormonal regulation of the sleep-wake cycle). In this case, I would recommend you that there is nothing to be worried about, it merely takes for you to "regulate" your sleep timing and hours.
However, on the other hand, I would also recommend you to consult your clinical psychologist or psychiatrist who prescribed your mediaction, in case that the symptoms are coming from the treatment with the medication you are on at the current moment. Also, this treatment may be related with the complaints you have in the digestive system.
I hope this was helpful. I am happy to help, if you have any follow-up question.
Best regards,
Dr. Meriton
