Stress makes it hard for me to sleep and this is starting to affect our relationship. What can be done?
Lack of sleep and stress feed each other, so breaking that cycle improves both. Set a fixed time for sleeping and waking, and keep your phone away from the bed. Stop mulling over problems by writing them down earlier in the evening. Practise dhikr and duas before sleep to calm the heart. Avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening and cut down on long daytime naps. Tell your spouse you are struggling so that they are patient. If sleeplessness drags on for weeks, see a doctor, because it may be linked to a treatable condition. See mental health.
