“I am not able to sleep due to financial stress. What can I try to sleep soundly?”
I am unable to sleep due to stress. The second I lay down everything just floods into my head and it takes hours to fall asleep. What can I do to help myself?

Well sorry to hear you are struggling financially. One thing I would suggest is to keep track of your caffeine intake. I would not drink any caffeine after 5pm. Secondly I would try a guided meditation (there is a free app called headspace) that is good. Lastly, try to take a warm shower or bath before hitting the pillow. If you have insurance you should try talk therapy I think it would do wonders for you!

Download some mindfulness apps. A good one is Calm.
It all depends on the person. I would try to make yourself know that every thing happens for a reason and know you will be okay. Others can have it much worse and as long as you are healthy, you are good. In the meantime, read a book or magazine or watch television while in bed
