Stress is a major disruptor of sleep. Elevated cortisol levels can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Chronic stress increases the risk of insomnia and poor sleep quality. To manage stress, incorporate relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation before bed. Limit stimulants and alcohol, and create a calming bedtime routine. Track your stress and sleep patterns, and seek support if needed.
