Too stressed to sleep?

04 October 2010

A recent study by Slumberland showed that nearly three-quarters of British workers are struggling to get a full night’s sleep because of work worries. In a survey of 3,000 adults, 69% said that work problems make it difficult to sleep. Even when we do drop off to sleep, the survey revealed that one in three dreams about work at least twice a week. The survey also showed that 39% wake up at least once during the night fretting about their careers.

If you find yourself dwelling on work worries when you go to bed, try writing them down before you hit the sack. And if you’re prone to waking in the night with worries on your mind, try keeping a pad of paper and pen next to your bed – then if you do wake in the night with a thought, you can write it down and go back to sleep.
