To help, here are some tips to sleep when you\u2019re stressed:<\/p>\n
Grabbing your phone and scrolling through social media isn\u2019t going to help. Aside from finding more upsetting news, the screen also emits a blue light that makes it hard to fall asleep.<\/p>\n

If your mind starts to wander to Negative Town, think about something else. Ideally, you\u2019ll think of something positive and relaxing.

Instead, try to set aside time during the day to access the problem and come up with a creative solution.<\/p>\n
