I've been depressed. So I've been sleeping a lot. I don't sleep well. I toss & turn all night & wake up every hour. But I end up being in bed like 12 hours (not sleeping the whole time, but I'm in bed that long). I've been getting a lot of bad headaches, that go to my temple, behind my eye, to the back of my neck & I'm miserable all day. This has been happening a lot. Could that possibly be the cause? Only serious answers please, thank you.

Too much sleep/too little sleep can cause headaches Researchers think fluctuations in seratonin and other brain neurotransmitters occur during sleep, which in turn can influence the headaches.

I sleep for over 14 hours and I get bad headaches too, so I'm gonna have to say "yes."

Yes, you should get to the doctor because they could help you. A good sleep cycle is necessary for proper health. Being depressed doesn't help. Early to bed and early to rise is the best medicine. Have something to do every day even if you don't like doing it, do some chores, get out of the house, always take showers twice a day, brush your teeth and never forget you are a valuable human being.

I don't know anything about depression, but my sister always finds she gets headaches if she sleeps for too long.

Talk to your doctor...staying in bed for 12 hrs isn't healthy...you can get something that'll help you cope until you can do so on your own...and s/he can likely address your headache issue as well...
