Seriously? https://www.sleep.org/articles/depression-affects-sleep/

I had it, couldn’t sleep well for a month. My ex girlfriend had it, she couldn’t sleep for 5 days.

My experience was erratically alternating between not being able to sleep (sleeping less than four hours per night) and sleeping 12-18 hours per day. Either mode could last half a week, or a whole month.

Many (most?) depressed individuals do experience sleeplessness, but that's not at all universal.

Yes, seriously. It's an experience that some depressed people have, but it's not universal by any means.
