Although it is important to get a good night's sleep, too much sleep can actually prolong your depression. Having said that I know that when I am depressed all I want to do is sleep and no matter how I tell myself I shouldn't have too much sleep, the urge to sleep wins the day. However when you feel you are just on the borders of depression that is the time to act. As I am bi-polar I sometimes get up in the middle of the night to work on my computer. This always results in elevating my mood, so if I am on the borders of feeling depressed I will sometimes purposely get up in the middle of the night and it certainly seems to work for me. However there are people who find sleep eludes them when they have depression. I don't know what to suggest in those circumstances.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
