Chronic stress raises cortisol levels, which disrupts sleep cycles and makes it harder to fall and stay asleep. Stress management for sleep involves identifying triggers, practicing mindfulness, and building relaxation into your daily routine. Try deep breathing, guided relaxation apps, and limiting exposure to stressful news before bed. Set boundaries with work and engage in creative or physical activities to relieve tension. If stress continues to impact your sleep, seek professional support.
