Yes: Those are pretty non-specific symptoms, clearly could be depression, but also might be many other possible medical problems.

A ton of things: Can cause excessive sleeping and lack of energy. First see your family doctor to rule out medical causes such as hypothyroid, viral infections, etc. If medically cleared, your family doc may be able to refer you to a psychiatrist in your area.

Yes: You can have sleep problems from snoring, apnea, restless legs, poor sleep hygeine, anxiety/depression, napping during the day, night seizures, noises in the neighborhood waking you up, bed bugs, waking up to use the bathroom, acid reflux, allergies, or any number of things. I recommend seeing a doctor to get checked out.
