Money worries keep Brits awake, says survey
Author: Jonathan Warren
More than a third of us (40 per cent) are feeling the strain of months of worry arising from the economy, and as a result, are being kept awake at night by financial woes, according to a new survey.
In a poll of 2,000 people, conducted by hotel chain premier Inn, money worries came out as the primary reason behind our declining sleep quality in our faux leather beds.
Meanwhile, career anxiety was the reason behind 30 per cent of all respondents failing to get decent shut eye, with concern – and resulting poor sleep quality – at its highest on Sundays in anticipation of the week ahead.
Claire Haigh, spokeswoman for Premier Inn, explained the importance of worriers to “switch off” and said: “The fact people have stated money and finances as the top reason for a restless night's sleep is a real reflection of the tough economic climate.
“Dwelling on things at night when you are already tired can make things seem a lot worse than they are.”
