Sleep Troubles Can Upset Health and Life
What we think and feel has a direct impact on our current and future health and life.
For a lot of people stress or anxiety from their daily experiences, such as financial difficulties or family issues, can be the cause of insomnia, as well as other mental health problems.
Stress can cause tension and restlessness and coupled with thoughts of worry, make it difficult for sleep to come at night.
It's not easy letting go of anxious thoughts at night especially if something is bothering us.

Stress can slowly build up without us knowing and it can start to have an impact on physical and mental wellbeing, causing mood swings, insomnia and other symptoms.
From the moment you wake up you may experience stress or annoyance; maybe you oversleep and you have to rush to get ready, you miss the bus for work, you receive a complaint from an irate customer and the day continues to go that way.
Because sleep is affected by stress, reducing stress is a method in how to beat insomnia.
It's important that we expel stress hormones from the body before they cause damage.
