Apparently you're not the only one.
Thousands of British people are having trouble sleeping at least once a week due to thinking about their money worries, and a shocking 1 in 6 of us are turning to alcohol to help get to sleep.
This article also says that around 30% of people are reading in bed, while the same amount of people are playing computer games because of restlessness caused by financial pressure.
As much as I feel the "credit crunch" is mostly media hype to scare us into cutting back on what we enjoy in life, if it's causing us this much strain in our personal lives, it seems we should try thinking about something else...
