Stress can make it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep, while poor sleep can leave you feeling more tired, irritable and less able to manage everyday pressure.
Simple Ways to Reset
- Keep a Routine: Try to use consistent bed and wake times.
- Create a Buffer: Set aside quiet time before bed instead of solving problems late at night.
- Reduce Stimulation: Limit screens and caffeine close to bedtime.
- Slow Down: Gentle breathing, mindfulness or progressive muscle relaxation may help you unwind.
If stress or sleep difficulties continue and affect daily life, speak with your GP or a mental health professional. Counselling or psychology support can help you understand patterns and develop practical coping strategies.
