I have the same exact problem, i hate it! I'm definitely going to goto the docs before school starts. A lack of sleep may be caused by several things..but if you think it's depression, here are some signs:

-Feeling negative, hopeless, or "down in the dumps."
-Noticeable loss of interest or pleasure in almost all activities
-Significant weight loss or gain
-Difficulty falling asleep or sleeping too much
-Feeling restless and unable to sit still
-Feeling tired all the time
-Feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt
-Inability to concentrate, remember, or make decisions
-Recurring thoughts of death or suicide



If you feel that several of those feelings of depression are causing your sleep problems, i'd consider going to a doctor. They will put you on some type of med to decrease your depression and promote sleep.


Hope I helped and goodluck. (:

It could be depression related yes. Stress could also be a factor.

I also think it could be diet. Are you drinking/eating a lot of caffeine (ie soda, coffee, chocolate) right before you go to bed?

Worrying about not sleeping could cause you to not be able to sleep...because you are worrying. ;]
Just relax and don't concern yourself with the fact that you aren't sleeping. If that doesn't work, talk to your doctor. He/she could answer better than any of us I'm sure. You could tell them what your diet is, as well as what may be causing you stress in your life.
