Stress, Anxiety & Sleep

Stress and anxiety may cause sleeping problems or make existing problems worse. And having an anxiety disorder exacerbates the problem.

Anxiety is a feeling of worry and unease. It’s normal to experience anxiety occasionally in response to fearful or stressful situations.Additionally, anxiety can cause serious sleep issues, such as insomnia.

Sleep usually improves when an anxiety disorder is treated. (strategies for living with anxiety, buy Coping with Anxiety and Stress Disorders).
