Debt Worries Cause Sleepless Nights
We’ve all had sleepless nights due to stress or things we are worrying about and debt is no exception, with a number of previous studies showing it’s one of the most common reasons for sleep problems.
In 2014, a study found 1 in 7 adults struggle to sleep because of financial and debt problems keeping them awake.
One of the most well-known causes for sleep problems is stress and debt is often attributed as one of the most leading causes for stress & anxiety.
Charity Trustee of Debt Support Trust, Stuart Carmichael said:
