If worries are keeping you awake, get help

Stress keeps millions of people from sleeping well at night.

Family matters, work, and money are the top three things people worry about most, according to a recent survey by the Better Sleep Council.

If worries are keeping you awake, talk with your doctor about your sleep problems.

Some symptoms of stress can also be indications of depression or other conditions.

Check with your physician if you are concerned about any aspect of your health.

Tip: Keep a pad of paper and a pen beside your bed.

If you wake up at night with an important thought, write it down.

You will be able to go back to sleep more easily knowing that your idea will be there for you in the morning.
