Anxiety Brings Long-Term Sleep Trouble
Stress and anxiety may lead to more than just a night or two of trouble sleeping. A new study shows anxiety can cause a long-term sleep issue. It’s no surprise that major life stresses, such as death, illness, divorce, or money problems can cause trouble sleeping. But researchers found anxiety-related lack of sleep problems can last for up to six months after the stressful event. In addition, people who are more anxious to begin with are more likely to suffer from trouble sleeping.
