While both stress and anxiety can contribute to difficulty sleeping, what’s more important is to understand that lack of sleep, which can be due to preventable factors, can dramatically contribute to anxiety and poor stress tolerance. In other words, when we don’t make sleep a priority, we’re contributing to our anxiety and burnout.
Getting a good night’s sleep is the ultimate form of self-care. It’s free, it feels good, and it does more for your health and sense of well-being than any self-care practice out there.
