Overview

In a recent study done by AARP, out of a sample of 2464 respondents, 37% said that worries and concerns woke them up or kept them awake while they tried to fall asleep. As we try to do more with our lives, adding a second job to our existing over-demanding job, or taking up leadership positions in University, our stress levels have increased dramatically. Before going to bed, we often ruminate about the stresses of the day and worry about the tasks that lay ahead. These worries keep us awake in bed longer than we would like to.
