Stress Linked to Sleep Problems in Argentina and Dominican Republic

In Argentina, a recent study by the University of Buenos Aires reports that more than 70% of the population experiences sleep difficulties associated with stress. The research highlights how work, family and other worries disrupt the natural sleep cycle, leading to trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.

A therapist in the Dominican Republic confirms that stress is a common trigger for insomnia, often causing early‑night awakenings and racing thoughts. Professional advice emphasizes establishing a consistent bedtime routine, creating a quiet, dark sleeping environment, and avoiding stimulants such as caffeine and late‑night screen use. Relaxation practices—including meditation, yoga, breathing exercises and mindfulness—are recommended to lower anxiety levels.

Cognitive‑behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT‑I) is identified as one of the most effective treatments. When stress‑related sleep problems persist for several weeks or interfere with daily functioning, seeking professional help is advised.
