Subreddits
If you’re consistently having trouble sleeping, sometimes it can really help to talk to other people who are going through the same thing. Reddit is one of the internet’s largest communities, and is divided into “subreddits” focused on different topics – many of which are dedicated to helping people with specific problems.
Here are some of the best subreddits for support with sleep and stress. You might find some handy tips and ideas, or at the very least a sympathetic ear!
