stress insomnia

Anxiety-induced sleep loss

Stress insomnia is difficulty sleeping caused by worry, anxiety, or mental tension.

The mind races with concerns—work deadlines, financial troubles, relationship problems—making it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep: I've had stress insomnia ever since the layoffs were announced.

Unlike chronic insomnia, it typically resolves when the underlying stressor passes.
